United States, Scott #4738, used(o), 2013, American Landmarks Series, 10th stamp in the series, stamp shows the Arlington Green Bridge; the bridge is located in the town of West Arlington in western Vermont, just two miles from the border with New York State; the bridge crosses the Batten Kill stream; it was built in 1852 using a lattice truss construction, $5.60, issued with non-water soluble self adhesive, serpentine die cut simulated perforation: 11x10¾ (personally measured), photogravure printed by Avery Dennison, multicolored, Scott 2025 Catalog Value: $6.25, nicely centered, large, light, quarter circular, broken-up, black-inked, double-rimmed, socked-on-the-nose corner cancellation at the lower left and clear of the main image, stamp has a small 3mm tear at the bottom center that has been pressed back against the cardstock and is barely visible, but price considered, good perforations, 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; centering, mounting, and image clear cancel warrant a selling price premium, but tear calls or an adjustment, so largely a wash. 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 (APS) 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.
