Item Description

United States, Scott #4005 (Michel #4055BC)(Yvert and Tellier #3768b)(Stanley Gibbons #4545), used(o), 2006 coil stamp, Crops of America Series, the stamps celebrate the rich agricultural heritage of the Americas; the stamps featured five crops uniquely native to the Americas: corn, chili peppers, beans, squashes, and sunflowers, which were cultivated for centuries before Europeans arrived, these crops are now grown worldwide as a result of this 'Columbian Exchange; this, the third stamp of the coil, shows a sunflower and its seeds; 39 cents, predominantly yellow, black, and brown, photogravure printed by the the American Packaging Corporation of Sennett Security Products, issued on non-water soluble self-adhesive coils with the five different stamps alternating along on the coil, serpentine die cut simulated 10½ horizontal, imperforated at the sides, perforated at the top and bottom, this stamp has a plate number code {S1 11- black, red, blue, black} at the lower right corner and only the sunflower stamp in the coil periodically carries the plate numbers, collectors are cautioned on the existence of two booklet issues for the series, with similar images, but with different sized perforations, and with differing inscribed date sizes, Scott 2025 Catalog Value: 35¢, nicely centered (superb), black-inked, horizontal, wavy line cancellation over the front of the stamp and over the main image, good perforations, was lifted from the mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance with other stamps of the period similarly mounted; centering, mounting, and plate number stamp warrants a selling price premium. 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 $US1.70 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 $US0.78 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. 

By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society 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.
