I haven't been in much of a position to really buy anything this month but I did throw in a rouge bid on a stamp that I needed' and low and behold- I actually won the thing! I know it isn't centered that great and the perfs are less than perfect but I like it. It will fit great in my Washington Franklin collection. Enjoy the pics!

Cat. description: U.S. Scott #547- $2, Carmine and black, Flat plate, - Perf. 11, - Unwatermarked, November 1st, 1920.

My latest score. I got it for $4.00 too!

I think the centering is nice and the cancel is light. Great acquisition. Mike

I was browsing around on eBay and found quite a few around the 30-60 dollar mark so it's not untouchable! Now the Scott #519 is another story all together!

Here is a Scott #519 that is on the same page in the Mystic Heirloom album as the ones posted above..

I found this one for just south of 1K if you're interested?

(Even if I had that kind of disposable income I still don't think I could bring myself to pay that for one! )

I see a few on eBay under a 100 bucks. Keep looking one will pop-up eventually I'm doing the same. I assume you meant #524 as you sent me a #523 so I don;t think you would have gave away something you needed but then again you do have a golden heart so it's possible?!

Here is a few auction lots (that I cannot afford) for the Scott #524 Franklin USED hinged for a pittance really -

www.ebay.com/itm/371252282025?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I tried to post multiple lots but for some reason it just puts the same link over and over so just search query on eBay Scott 524 and you will see what I mean.

It was issued before the Red and black $2 one (547)

They can be found but are usually costly. Sorry about the mistake anyway. I'll let you know if I find one in descent condition for a fair price.
