Retail, this could well be the most undervalued item in

of the 19th century U.S. stamps that are so difficult to
find in superb used condition as is this stamp. The price
for commercial copies of this stamp can well be multiplied
by 10 and the buyer of a superb copy of this stamp at such
a price can rejoice in the fact he has a bargain!"
