Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp, plus a registered mailing fee that varies by country of destination, but is approximately $4.00 per $100.00 of insurance. Thus the cost of mailing and insurance needs to be: $17.00 for customers outside of the United States. If you are ordering from the United States, it will be sent in a priority tracking envelope at a cost of $9.85. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra expense for the added purchases.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
