Daniel Webster Stamp Appraisal

Daniel Webster US Postage Stamp, 3 Cents

This item is a United States postage stamp featuring a portrait of Daniel Webster. The stamp is predominantly purple or violet in color, with a serrated or perforated edge typical of postage stamps. The central image is a bust of Daniel Webster, depicted facing slightly to the right, with a serious expression. Above his head, in an arch, are the words "UNITED STATES POSTAGE." Below the portrait, across the bottom, is the name "DANIEL WEBSTER" printed in capital letters. On both the left and right sides, near the bottom corners, is a large numeral "3" indicating the denomination. Below the \"3\" on the left, the year \"1782\" is visible, and below the \"3\" on the right, the year \"1932\" is visible, suggesting this stamp commemorates the 150th anniversary of Daniel Webster's birth (1782-1932). The phrase "3 CENTS" is also visible at the very bottom center, below Webster's name. The stamp exhibits a fairly crisp print quality, with clear detailing in the portrait and text. The perforations appear to be intact, and the stamp is likely unused, as it is shown within what appears to be a stamp album or collection page, often indicating careful preservation. The color appears consistent, with no obvious signs of fading or discoloration. There are no visible tears, creases, or major imperfections on the face of the stamp, suggesting it is in good to excellent condition for its age. The style is commemorative, typical of early 20th-century American postal issues.
