RARE VINTAGE 1 CENT GEORGE WASHINGTON U.S. POSTAGE STAMP 1789-1797 - Lot of 4. - NOT RARE ! I am listing these very low value extremely common stamps on eBay to help the under knowledgeable stamp collectors from making a regrettable purchase. This is a stock picture, not the one you will receive. The above dates 1789-1797 has nothing to do with the age of the stamps but rather the years George Washington was president. The actual dates these stamps were in production was 1938-1954. The stamps were the usps work horse stamps and were printed in the hundreds of millions. The Scott Catalog numbers for the 1 cent green stamps are 804/804b/839/848. The different catalog numbers refer to the different type of stamps. Sheet / booklet / horizonal coil / vertical coil stamps. The corresponding catalog values for mint & never hinged = .25 / .25 / .30 / .85 The corresponding catalog values for used = .25 / .25 / .25 / .25 And the .25 SCV is the minimum price they put on a stamp. This stamp listed is a Plate Number Block and has a SCV = $ 1.10 I'm listing these stamps mainly for informational purposes. The cost & time of listing such low value stamps prohibits me from selling them for less the $1.10 SCV. At stamp shows these plate blocks can be found for less than a dollar. These are all stock pictures , as it is not worth the time to scan these very low value stamps each time someone happens to purchase them. They may be hinged or MNH (mint not hinged)
