PLEASE: read my entire description and terms BEFORE your order. If you have any questions, please call or email (through the Ebay system) before you order: Shipping and insurance on this item is FREE, with just one condition: you must clip around and return the cancelled stamps that I use to mail out your order. An SASE will be included in your order for your convenience. (I resell the used stamps to other collectors to recover part of my postage expense). If you don't want to return the stamps, or don't understand what I am asking you to do, please contact me before you order. In my professional opinion (based upon 35 years of experience as a full-time dealer), the following item is: #K16 Two Dollar Shanghai Overprint. I grade this item: Medium Fine 4, which means:Well-centered. Hinged original gum and a thin (see photo).SCV: $450 For your information: Each item is graded using the Anderson Standard Grading System, the first systematic grading system made for stamps, which I developed by 1997. It is the most comprehensive, easiest and best system devised for grading stamps. It is designed to safeguard you, the buyer, and the Ebay community. My system was up and functional MANY YEARS before Scott catalog, PFC, PSE, and others added grading to their certificates. It is personally gratifying to see that after a few years of practice, the grading standards used by Scott, PFC, and PSE are finally moving closer to my system. However, as stated on every certificate issued by these 3rd-party graders, the identification and grading of stamps is subjective and always given as a professional "opinion" only. The professional services can and do reverse themselves. You can, and should verify the quality of this item by careful inspection once your receive it. If you don't think this item is correctly identified or graded, then simply return it within 14 days of receipt for a full refund. Unfortunately, the maximum time for a cancellation of sale through Ebay does not allow enough time for you to obtain a third-party expertization. For this reason, if you desire expertization, you must contact me BEFORE purchasing this item. Valuation: with a few exceptions, items are valued by current Scott Specialized Catalog Value. If merited, I quote from the US Specialized by Grade section (see Pg 310 of the Scott Specialized Catalog), which is specifically designed to estimate value for higher-grade stamps. For a few items, the SCV must be estimated, notably for pre-1870 never hinged items, because Scott does not provide a value. Shipping: Sorry, I do not ship Ebay orders outside of the United States. This is because I have been burned badly by Paypal, which requires absurdly expensive tracking on foreign shipments. If you wish to purchase this item and have it shipped outside the U.S., then you must contact me OFF Ebay to arrange the transaction. If you contact me through the Ebay system, I will not reply, because it is against Ebay rules to set up an off-Ebay transaction through their system (this should be common sense). Payment: is Paypal only. If you desire to pay another way, then you must contact me OFF Ebay. Thank you, Karl Anderson Anderson Stamp & Coin POB 51258, Provo, Utah 84605 APS #130744.
