United States, Scott #4927, used(o), 2014, American Landmarks Series, Glade Creek Grist Mill; the mill is located in the Babcock State Park in West Virginia near the New River Gorge, and was built in 1976 as a re-creation of the Cooper's Mill which had previously ground grain a short distance away on Glade Creek; the mill was built out of the parts of three other old mills: the Stoney Creek Grist Mill, the Spring Run Grist Mill, and the Onego Grist Mill, $5.75, non-water soluble self-adhesive, serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 10 ¾ X 10 ½, offset lithography printed by Ashdon Potter (USA) Ltd (APU), multicolored, Scott 2025 Catalog Value: $6.50, nicely centered (superb), light, red-inked, double-rimmed, half circular, hollowed-out and broken-up, socked-on-the-nose cancellation over the left half of the stamp and into the main image, however, the lightness of the cancel and its broken-up and hollowed out effects leave the main image remarkably clear, this stamp was soaked from the mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive and uniform album mounting, good perforations; centering, mounting, and image clear cancel warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
