Used Condition Value (Scott #59)
The value of a used stamp depends heavily on its condition, including the quality of the cancellation, centering, and lack of faults (tears, thins, creases).
- Scott Catalog Value (CV) for a Used Stamp: The catalogue value for a used copy of the major number Scott #59 is typically modest, often in the range of $15 – $30 USD.
- Retail Price: Dealer retail prices for a typical used copy are often lower, ranging from around $9 – $25 USD for a Fine to Very Fine (F-VF) example.
Important Note on Varieties:
This issue is known for plate varieties which can be much more valuable than the standard stamp. Specifically, the 10-cent stamp has a distinct variety:
- Scott #59i (Line through “CE” of “CENTS”): Used copies of this variety have a significantly higher catalog value, around $60 USD (or more depending on the specific catalog and condition).
If your stamp has this variation, it would increase the value. For any stamp of this age, a professional stamp catalog (like Scott, Unitrade, or Gibbons) is the best source for the most current pricing and to identify specific varieties.
