Item Description

Condition: Condition is as shown in the photo. I will describe any faults I don't think you can see.

Grade: Ungraded
2¢ Brown (113). Canceled by "Hiogo, Japan" double-circle handstamp.This cancel which is scarce on the 2c 1869 Pictorial Issue, the U.S. Post Office opened in Hiogo in 1868, one year after those in Yokohama and Nagasaki, and was in operation until December 1874; the rate was 10c to the U.S., 3c or 6c between Treaty Ports and additional rates to Europe, some covers exist with large frankings of the 2c so this denomination must have been readily available in Hiogo; however, we have offered only about ten unduplicated off-cover examples since keeping computerized records and almost all are faulty or off-center.( text from Siegel Auctions)Hi! Stamps with fancy cancels are my new "thing"!I just purchased collections that'll keep me listing them for months to come!Expect shields, masonics, green cancels, cogwheels, masks, skulls, shapes, stars, fleurettes, geometrics, NYFM and the usual fancy cancels!Hundreds of stamps from the US 19th Century!Disclaimer: Stamps will likely have a small or minor fault that you can see in the scan.If there is a major fault such as a crease or large thin, I'll do my best to mention it.With most fancy cancel stamps, you are buying the "cancel" and not necessarily the stamp quality. Of course, some stamps will be more expensive as the Scott Catalog Value is figured into the price.Please view the scans to form your own opinion on condition. Additional information upon request.
