- I had bought this beautiful page of confederate stamps months ago and after finishing my Papal states videos, I am finally ready to move on to showing other neat stuff like this.
**UPDATE** I have moved from eBay to Hipstamp!
My store is called Kyle's Stamps Here is the link: www.hipstamp.c...

The “CHAR” cancelation could be Charleston!
Aha! That must be it. Thanks!
Yes, but is it South Carolina or West Virginia? The latter COULD have used CSA stamps between the Second Wheeler Convention (June 1861) and its admittance as a Union state in July 1863.... Oh, the cancellation couldn't be 1866 as CSA stamps were not allowed to be used as postage after the Civil War. Looks more like a "3" than a "6" to me but hard to see on my phone. Will watch again later on a larger device...
@@markjosephjochim8403 That's a good question, I suppose it could be either. Thanks for the info, you are correct it couldn't be '66, that makes sense :)
@@KylesStamps Looking at it again, it appears more as a stylized "2" than anything else...
@@markjosephjochim8403 Wouldn't be West Virginia. After Virginia seceded from the Union, the north western counties of the state seceded from Virginia, being loyal to the Union. They formed the state of West Virginia and promptly petitioned Washington for readmission into the Union. This is according to the New Dietz Confederate States Catalogue and Handbook.
You should focus on your amazing Papal States Cover Collection. It is most noteworthy! The “un” probably means “unused” and the “u” = “used.” Damaged stamps are generally discounted to practically zero... Many “collectors” consider damaged stamps as “space-fillers” at best; while others classify them as “worthless.” Patricia Kaufman is a long-time dealer in Confederate Stamps.
I didn’t realize you had a video dedicated to confederate stamps! Can’t wait to watch it!
Beautiful! I love confederate issues. Don’t have any but it’s nice to look. Great video!
I find them fascinating!

The good news is that compared to just a few short decades ago, prices on most philatelic items that are not purchased new to be used as postage are actually lower.......often, considerably........even accounting for inflation.
Kyle I just bought some face mails. Pretty interesting.....I just need four more stamps two finish my confederate stamps. I just check out your video for the second time
You got some great stamp there. Some day. They will be worth something.. of course if you have the one that has a frame around that stamp is csa 10 that a real good one. Thank you for showing your stamps m. S.
Nice stamps!
3 line cancel. Top bar was made in one stroke (line). Bottom bar was made using 2 strokes (lines)
Oh man! Thanks! That makes sense.
@@KylesStamps "shows three lines" - refers to the FRAMELINE that surrounds the CSA #10 stamp. You can see a full complete line at left, small portions of two others in the other three margins. Those lines were a grid that was laid out on the future plate for workers at the Archer & Daly printing plant in Richmond Va. The goal was to drop the transfer images correctly spaced before the plate was permanently engraved. Oooops!!! They never went back and later burnished out the lines! What resulted was a sheet with a thin line printed between each stamp both horizontally and vertically. When the end users ultimately scissored them apart for usage, one stamp or the next ended up with the line still attached. When CSA collectors see a rare frame line issue, its how much of the surrounding lines ended up on that particular stamp, which greatly effects the value. I.e. -- a partial line still visible in one margin is good enough as proof that this is the #10 "frameline" stamp, -- while all four full lines still around the stamp ... is the holy grail!
@@brainreeves6449 Fantastic info! I appreciate it! Always love learning these things as I had no idea. So much to know even in just CSA collecting :D
I can’t believe a couple of those were $10 and $13! If I ever find them that cheap I’ll definitely snatch them up
Those are still all of the confederate stamps I have but I love that sheet!
Interesting collection! CSA stamps must be hard to get! but that $$ 3500.00 first price is.... WAY ! too much! HOW evah! enjoy these!!
Kyle nice confederate stamps. Patricia Hoffman sells confederate stamps
She gets big bucks. If the stamps are cancelled she gets more. But I my self have a decent confeds my self I just reseaved a picture of Abe Lincoln at 28 years of age. Well good luck .and keep on stamping....
That lady knows her stuff!
Your yellow 1¢ John C Calhoun printed in England but was never issued, and the three 2¢ varieties you have are modern reproductions. The 1¢ Calhoun and similar 5¢ Davis were revised - the plates altered - to increase face value. But these new plates were never used (long story), and were found many years later by August Dietz, considered the father of Confederate philately. He printed an emerald green version of Calhoun in the 1920s, and the others are more modern printing. Same goes for the black and blue never used ten cent Davis stamps. Your $13 valued Jefferson Davis (in the middle) is a fake and is what is called a New York forgery, created by John Scott (of Scott's catalogue fame). This is determined by the short middle strokes in the F and E of the word FIVE and also a small dot of colour at the two o'clock position above the upper left star. Compare it to the similar stamp to its left. The postmark on the rose coloured Jefferson is Richmond VA. A nice group of stamps though. But you just have to be careful with fakes and forgeries with Confederates. I think it's a whole separate collecting area with these stamps.
A comprehensive evaluation, sir! Thank you for the info. I will be aware of the forgery issues in the future!
Wow great information! Thank you!
Patricia Kaufman is the go to lady on all CSA MATERIAL there are a few lectures she did on you tube , looks like a few fakes in there I would get professionally valued.
Kyle, I have a Scott’s album from 1895 with confederate stamps in it. Would you be interested in possibly purchasing it?
I am trying to stop spending money for the time being as I have dug myself a pretty deep hole of debt, unfortunately. I do appreciate the offer though!!!
Would you piece it out?
Sales tactic overpriced in first place
Could be.. but like I said I watched them for a long time before they offered discounts like this..
Apfelbaum & Co. is a very reputable dealer who doesn't resort to "sales tactics". I would trust them over just about any of the part-timers on eBay to give a fair price. The stamp market does fluctuate and there certainly isn't as much demand for CSA stamps as there once was in this age of Political Correctness.
