High Priced Stamps.

Thirty dollars apiece for two-cent
postage stamps is pretty stiff price,
but that amount was refused by New
Yorker for two of the Pan-American
stamps of the two-cent variety. They
are priced so high because the Fast
Express in the center is printed upside
down. The mistake was made at the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but
there is no telling how many sheets
were printed in that manner One
sheet went to New York and the
stamps were sold before the error was
discovered. Most of the stamps have
been secured by collectors, and they
are holding them until it can be as
ceItained how many were printed. If
the mistake was made on several
sheets the price will greatly decrease.
Twenty-Five years ago a similar mis-
take was made printing revenue
stamps. They now sell for $25 each.
