Help Identify please

Harry Buehne

Can anyone tell me what this is? I cannot imagine that it is a postage stamp, but what if is?

Dan Shilcrat

Harry,
It is a CVP Computer Vending Postage issued 1992-2002. A variable rate Coil. Scott Listes as such CVP.. Your 0.04 rate is a better item most are letter rate of .29 or .32

Rene Bravo

I do remember those.... also recall thinking "how will that be classified by Scotts?". and they did, CVP 31 The idea really didn't "stick" for the USPS.

Harry Buehne

I am sorry to ask, but what does CVP stand for?

Thank you. If anyone with a specialized catalog would please let me know what the Scott # is, I would appreciate it and thank you.

Ron Lenke

CPV stands for Cat Vampire Picture

Seriously, I remember them but had a hard time conferring postage status to them as I did make up postage "stamps"

The Scott number is CVP31(type 1) Scott only lists prices for 29 and 32 cent but does point out that people used much lower value denominations in order to get the plate number strips.
A MNH strip of 5 with plate number is listed at $8.00 in the 2019 catalog or individual singles at $0.75
If you use the following search on HipStamp then you will see examples listed from $0.35 and up

Sello 2. centavos George Washington 1925 rojo

Por lo general, ese era un sello muy común con casi mil millones impresos. Su valor es realmente menos de un dólar (tal vez 25 centavos).
