I refered to the Harding as mint only to specify it was not used.
I don't think It is worth the $15,000 in the catalogue, However it's 
perf's measure right to be the #613.  I have had it to a shop to have
it appraised, But he told me that he would have to take it in the back to 
check for watermarks.  I told him in no uncertain terms that he was a 
dishonest man, because I knew there was no matter of a watermark on this 
stamp.  Another man told me he would give me $3,000
But I don't know if this is a fair price or not.  If you or anyone else knew 
of a very honest person that I could talk to about this and the rest of the 
collection, I would appreciate hearing of them. My collection is Very 
extensive, however, my knowledge of it is limited, It was my inheritance from 
my grandfather who collected since 1918.  I don't wan't to sell the whole 
thing, but I don't have any other way to pay the doctors.  I appreciate your 
reply, sorry if
I am cluttering this Fidonet.
