Hello!

This auction is for a RARE MINT NEVER HINGED Very Fine PRECANCEL GAP PAIR of Scott # 1058b, the 4c Lincoln Liberty Series coil, WET Printed, LARGE Hole, PRECANCELED "PITTSBURGH PA.",  Precancel Stamp Society Style 61.The 2022 Scott catalogue value for this pair (listed in italics indicating infrequent sales) is $47.50 (with no consideration for the precancel gap).

The Scott catalog states under the stamp listing: "It was against postal regulations to make mint precanceled examples of No. 1058b available other than to permit holders for their use. Resale was prohibited. Since some mint examples do exist in the marketplace, values are furnished here."

The Precancel Stamp Society Bureau Precancel Catalog, 5th Edition states: "Some collectors collect bureau precancels with gum. This is particularly challenging for issues before August 1967. Previously, sale of precancels to collectors was prohibited, and most dealers in bureaus soaked off the gum to avoid the appearance of violating postal regulations. As a result, there can be a large premium for some full gum bureaus, especially for issues prior to 1967."

The scan above represents the pair that you will receive.
