Share With Us YOUR Best Finds!

[Philatian]

We've all had that moment in stamp collecting where you find what you believe is a scarce stamp, and think "This is too good to be true!". Most of the time you, (or at least I) end up being wrong, and you don't actually have something special/valuable. Every once in a while, however, you really do find a keeper. 

What are your best finds? Feel free to brag all about them!

I've found several keepers, (but ironically, I didn't keep them all. )



Here's one I bought (for very little), Scott #530a, (double impression), super rare in used condition:

A few years ago, I purchased a small lot of Canadian early stamps and was surprised to find this Scott #14 stamp among the bunch. Although it is an unused no gum stamp, I was still very please to get it.

Spotted this in a small collection offered on eBay. 

US Postage Due Scott #J59 used, and in somewhat rough condition:

Found this when sorting through old stamps, I'm 99% sure it's a Scott #64:
