His "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" (1864) is considered a classic among religious autobiographies, 1 shilling / 3 pence, blue, Scott 2019 catalog value: $8.00. Very slightly off-centered, perforations clear frame on all four sides, light half circular and message cancellation over central image, sound back, good perforations. This is not a 'bait-and-switch' offer. 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 $US1.15 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 $US0.55 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra 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.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176). Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
