Scott #18L1 Type IV Black on White Paper 1200CV Boutons Dispatch Local Stamp

My stamp dealer assured me these that I have are genuine. All I can do is tell you the facts, let you decide for yourself, offer accordingly. This listing is for the pair of #18L1 local stamps as pictured. The fellow depicted on the stamp is President Zachary Taylor.<br><br>-"The United States Locals and Their History" published in 1877 by Scott &amp; Company on page 30 identifies this as a type IV leaves in corners. Black ink on white paper, but also a green glazed paper variety exists but this is the black on white.<br><br>-Thd appearance of this stamp is identical to the example shown in the Scott specialized catalogue.<br><br>-$1200 Catalogue Value (600 x 2)<br><br>I am only pricing this low because it isn't certified. Though these came from a dealer who has done stamps his entire life and explained to me why he believed they were genuine, and of course I did my own research, and, cited the sources above. So, make an offer that's reflective of your confidence level in this listing and maybe we have a deal.
