DR. BERNARD REVEL

(One Dollar High Value)

Famous American Series

Dr. Bernard Revel was the founder of Yeshiva University in New York City -- the Day of Issue city. This $1 stamp has a wonderful unofficial First Day cancellation of Bernardsville, N.J. After picking up the stamps at the main bustling city post office, it was across the Hudson River to the quiet suburban post office of Bernardsville. It is a good quality cancel with a nice "related" name association.

The hand-painted "entire" cachet shows two students studying the Torah. Dr. Revel sits nearby overseeing their progress. I am most pleased with the cachet/cancel combination for this COLLINS and highly recommend that you secure one for your collection. It cannot miss being a sought after item. It is in the Famous American series; it is a religious topical; it is a high-value stamp; and it is a COLLINS (only the second $1 stamp I've done in my ten year history and the first I've done with an individual $1 stamp). In my opinion, it's a must for any COLLINS collector. Item #Q1101 - $9.00
