Thanks for sharing! These are 100 years old! Neat, but common and do not have any monetary value.

This 2 cent Andrew Jackson stamp (aka “Black Jack”) issued in 1863. Earliest known usage (EKU) off cover is July 1, 1863.

I have attempted to count the points upon the image provided upon your post, but enlargement of the image in conjunction with my poor vision makes it a bit difficult.

This stamp is known to have had 4 types of Grills (D, E, F, and Z) applied to prevent nefarious individuals who attempted to clean off cancellations for illegal reuse.

If I were to make a good guess it is an “F” Grill, therefore you have a Scott # 93 used with a blue fancy star cancel.

According to Scott 2025 the CV for the stamp is $55.00, plus $8.00 for a blue cancel brings this stamp to a nifty CV of $63.00.

Pretty sweet huh.

I do recommend acquiring the Sonic Image Labs, “Precision U.S. Multi-Specialty Gauge” for a identifying grills upon your U.S. stamps, this tool has always been a boon to many a U.S. stamp collector.

I hope the above info proves beneficial to your query.

Oh, I must add the stamp CV noted on my previous post are for stamps which are Very Fine with relation to centering of the image, your stamp has the perforations cutting into the image on two sides.  Therefore, it is an Average copy at best, which does significantly affect the overall CV mentioned above.
