United States, Scott #2348, used(o), 1990, Commemorating the Bicentennial of the Ratification of the United States Constitution by the Thirteen Original States, stamps were issued on or about the dates of signing, this stamp is for Rhode Island who signed on May 29th, 1790, the last of the original 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution, making it our 13th state, and giving us the full United States of America; stamp shows Slaters Mill in Pawtucket, a still standing monument to the American Industrial Revolution; the words ‘Slater Mill, 1793’ were added to the stamp, making it the only stamp in the series with identifying information about the image included in the design; 25 cents, engraved and lithography printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), perforated: 11, multicolored, Scott 2025 Catalog Value: 25¢, nicely centered (superb), light and fading, black-inked, horizontal, wavy line across the top half of the stamp and just into the main image, the lightness of the cancel and its fading off effect leaves the main image remarkably cleaer, sound back, good perforations; centering and largely image clear cancel warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
lease review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 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 $US0.68 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. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. Additional purchases can go in the same mailing with no additional shipping charges to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
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.
