| US RAIL MAIL TO END SEPT. 28
|
|
|
| Amtrak has decided to end its' mail carrying contract
with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), on Sept. 28, 2004,
due to the cost and disruption of adding mail cars to
the system. Railroads have been used for mail service
since 1832. A USPS spokesperson said the USPS was not
planning any special ceremony to mark the last day of
rail postal service.

| APS HIT BY EMAIL SCAM
|
|
| The American Philatelic Society (APS) is working with
the FBI and the Secret Service to identify the
perpetrators of scam email messages sent to members
around mid-August. The email messages attempt to
persuade members to update their credit card
information, and thereby impart sensitive personal and
financial data, using a fraudulent online link. The
messages went to APS members who are registered on the
APS' Internet Stamp Store. Subsequently, the APS sent
out an email saying it would never ask for sensitive
personal information, such as a credit card number, in

reports that forged examples of the 2002 Flag coil
stamp (Scott 3622) have been spotted on mail from at
least three California towns. The forged stamps have a
"2003" year date rather than the correct "2002" date.
Examples of the same stamp have also been sold on eBay
in large numers. Earlier this year, forged examples of

| FDC FAKE CACHETS UNCOVERED
|
|
|
| Carol Shelton, writing in Linn"s Stamp News,
reports that hundreds of early US FDCs bearing bogus
cachets came onto the market in early 2004. The covers
are believed to carry genuine stamps and authentic
first-day-of-issue cancelations. However, their cachets
appear to be bogus add-ons, usually applied with a
rubber handstamp. Many of the covers came onto the
market inadvertently through an April 15 mail auction
conducted by Nutmeg Stamp Sales of Danbuty, CT.
Shortly thereafter, collectors began raising questions
about the covers. Nutmeg is offering a full refund to
buyers of the bogus covers. An investigation is
currenly underway, but is complicated by the fact that
the covers may have passed through several buyers
before being identified as bogus.

water-activated coil stamps. The U.S. Postal Service
has a policy of not tagging any stamps with a
denomination less than 10c. Rabinowitz raises the
intriguing possibility that the Postal Service may have
specifically ordered the tagging of some rolls of
10,000 of the 3c Star stamp to accomodate their use on
reply envelopes by a mass-mail solicitor.

private security printers. Whereas BEP produced
heavily engraved stamps, Dumaine states that the
current printer (Ashton Potter) "uses only a few
engraved lines, and the colors are often untrue and
inconsistent."

| SHIFTED "5" PORCH COIL DRAWS $5700
|
|
|
| Charles Snee, writing in Linn"s Stamp News
reports that a mint strip of 8 of the US 32c Flag Over
Porch coil, found with the first digit of the plate
number ("5") on the stamp immediately preceding the
stamp with the remainder of the plate number ("5555"),
recently sold at auction for $5,724. The cause of this
plate number split is believed to be due to a
misregistration of the cylinder applying the tan ink,
and it being out-of-sync by about the width of one
stamp, causing the tan "5" to print on the stamp prior
to the stamp which showed the remainder of the plate
number.

1898, known as the "Battleships" because they depict
the battleship Maine which blew up in Havana
Harbor, Cuba. The destruction of the Maine led
to the Spanish-American War which in turn led to the
issuance of revenue stamps to help finance the war.
Morrissey depicts various types of cancels applied to

that it is quite easy to assemble a representative
collection of these stamps.

reports on a forged example of a 37c Flag stamp found
to have been postally used. Snee points out that the
current Postal Service emphasis on using less costly
printing methods (such as offset lithography and
gravure) has opened the door for counterfeiters,
especially the use of offset-printed stamps, because
the technology is available and affordable. On the
other hand, older issues utilizing line engraving
techniques and built-in security features were
virtually immune to being forged in large numbers in
any convincing fashion.

| Rick Miller, writing in Linn"s Stamp News,
reports that Australian dealer John Pearson recently
acquired a previously unrecorded copy of the 1892
Queensland two-numeral Six Pence stamp (Scott 111A).
The stamp came from a collection that was given to the
collector's nephew in 1958. The nephew eventually
became aware of the rarity of the stamp and recently
sold it to Pearson. It is believed to be the finest of
the 16 copies known to exist. Lesser copies have sold
in the last few years for about $16,500 - $26,000 (US).
The stamp is characterized by the fact that numerals
for the denomination appear only at the bottom corners.
Subsequently, the numerals were placed in all four
corners. Of the two-corner issues, only the Six Pence
issue is scarce.

recovered less than a month after its May theft. Some
of the material from the $400,000 - $500,000 heist was
being offered by a couple to New York City dealers, but
even before that, in what might be described as a
"bizarre" development, some of the stamps had been
given to Houston area bartenders and female
acquaintances of the male suspect as tips. Some of the
recipients called Houston area dealers to see if the
stamps had any value, and this led to recovery of a few
items. Subsequently, H.R. Harmer of New York City
reported a suspicious visit to their office. Shortly
thereafter, an arrest was made and many more philatelic
items were recovered. The suspects were indicted on
