∙ 15y ago{| |- | Scott Numbers 1488 through 1498. Collectors were appalled by this issue and the obvious flash they put on them. Many stopped collecting any US stamps after this issue. You can purchase one of these for 20 cents used or mint from a dealer. This minimum value indicates that it has no real value. Dealers typically will purchase stamps at around 25% of the catalog value. Consult a stamp catalog such as Scott's, for a description on how stamps are rated and graded. |}
