Mystic was able to acquire these stamps in 2006, when the Smithsonian National Postal Museum sold surplus revenue stamps in a controversial move.  Museums seldom ‘deaccession’ their collection, but the Smithsonian made an exception. Many stamp collectors were excited for the opportunity to add rare and usual stamps to their collection.  And the stamps were in mint fresh condition.

Documentary stamps paid mortgage or deed taxes.  When Stock Transfer stamps were discontinued in 1952, Documentary stamps were then used to show tax had been paid on the transfer of stock certificates.  In 1958, the tax rate was 10¢ on each $100 of the value of the stock certificate. 
Beginning in 1940, documentary stamps pictured former Secretaries of the US Treasury.  The $2,500 stamp features William Windom, who served in this position under Jame Garfield, Chester Arthur, and Benjamin Harrison.
