1930 Charleston, South Carolina 250th Anniversary Stamp

This is a 2-cent United States postage stamp, commemorating the 250th Anniversary of Charleston, South Carolina, issued in 1930. The stamp features a predominantly monochrome reddish-purple color scheme, a common hue for definitive and commemorative stamps of that era. The central vignette depicts two figures, one appearing to be a European settler or explorer in period attire, holding what might be a musket or staff, and the other an indigenous person, possibly a Native American, holding a spear. They stand in a landscape setting with what looks like water and sailing ships in the background, under palm-like trees. The central image is enclosed within an oval frame. Above this frame, in an arch, are the words 'UNITED STATES POSTAGE'. The years '1680' and '1930' are prominently displayed in large numerals on the upper left and right corners, respectively, indicating the anniversary dates. A banner at the bottom of the central oval reads '250th ANNIVERSARY' and below that, curved text says 'CHARLESTON, S.C.'. The denomination '2 CENTS' is clearly printed at the very bottom center, with the numeral '2' also present in ornate circles in the lower left and right corners. The stamp is perforated along all four edges, indicating it was part of a sheet. It appears to be housed within a dark border or frame, which may be a protective mount or part of an album. The condition appears to be relatively good, with no obvious major tears or creases, although the image resolution makes it difficult to assess fine details like paper quality or gum integrity. The impression seems clear and well-inked, typical of US postal issues of the early 20th century.
