1938 Presidential Series + Special Delivery + Post

Updated August 7, 2026

Here is a well-rounded accumulation of classic U.S. stamps that collectors and resellers both appreciate.The lot is anchored by attractive used examples from the popular 1938 Presidential Series, including multiples of the 1¢ Washington and 3¢ Jefferson, plus useful mid-values and a strong group of higher denominations — two 25¢ McKinleys, two 30¢ Roosevelts, and a 50¢ Taft.Special Delivery collectors will like the three 15¢ motorcycle issues and the scarcer-looking 20¢ truck design. A nice run of 1930 Postage Due stamps (1¢ through 10¢) rounds out the group and adds extra interest.Cancels are varied and mostly light to moderate. The stamps show honest postal use and are ready for album pages, reference sets, or breaking down for individual online sales.This is practical, classic material that moves well — perfect for filling gaps in a Prexie collection, building a used Special Delivery group, or adding depth to a general U.S. stock. A clean, ready-to-use lot.
