Key 1864 Revenue Stamp
This scarce revenue stamp is the key issue in the first series. It’s impossible today to tell what it was used to pay tax on, but we’ve seen others on large transactions – including the sale of railroads! The stamp’s gorgeous engraving must be seen to be appreciated – it’s exceptionally beautiful. Issued in 1864 to finance the Civil War, this stamp is quite scarce – just 6,556 were issued. It’s so scarce that despite Mystic’s buying power we seldom have it.
This $200 Internal Revenue Stamp is a wonderful value and is missing from most collections. Add it to yours by ordering today.

Intricate Revenue stamps feature the rich detail and historical importance of classic U.S. stamps for a fraction of the price. Acquiring a collection of these seldom-seen stamps is easy and affordable with Mystic as your collecting partner.
When the Civil War erupted in 1861, the country was on the verge of bankruptcy. A plan was developed to generate internal revenue – money collected from taxes placed on domestic items such as tobacco, alcohol, medicine, perfume and playing cards. Stamps were provided as proof of payment. Examining used U.S. Revenue stamps offers a window into the past – the government required several unusual cancellation techniques such as private cancels, manuscript initials and perforated initials.
The same legislation that created these stamps also created the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP).
Until 1862, specific Revenue stamps were required for many taxable items – leading to a wealth of interesting stamps for modern collectors. Imperforate and “part-perf” error stamps present another challenging – yet affordable – collecting opportunity.
