I have two copies of the 1 pence "red" from the subject issue. On each, the watermark is sideways (with no Scott comment about the watermark being sideways). But on one, the bottom of the crown (Scott watermark 3, multiple crown and CA) faces left; on the other stamp, the bottom of the crown...

Used recent stamps worth more than mint stamps or not? by
Joe
I would like to know what you think of mint & used stamps.
In Scott (USA) & Yvert & Tellier (French) catalogue both mint & used
stamps have the same value, ( more recent ones from 1980 to nowadays)
& in Stanley Gibbons, it is the contrary, that is recent used stamps
have more value than mint (in...

valuating stamps by
helloworld
Hi,
through unpredictable happenstance, I happened to be in a position to "inherit"
a sizeable collection of stamps, perhaps numbering about 3000-4000 items.
I am not a regular collector, so all shorts of questions come up, at moments.
As of now, there is no need or incentive to sell or exhibit...

Observations from the scanner. by
Rodney
Nicaraguan 1890 loco and telegraph set.
The master die impression must have been "enhanced" for all the Peso values.
I note the 2 peso green is the only issue that missed shading
in the value tablet, and the 1 peso has a different frame.
Just thought I would share that with you :)

Mystic Stamp Co. by
Beanie[_3_]
I sent away for the Mystic color catalog of US stamps recently.
It arrived along with some old used US stamps (which I returned unopnened.)
The catalog is really quite a work of art, with great photography.
However, Mystic's prices seem to be very high.
Far higher than I've been paying for stamps...

Miniature Sheet...MNH or not MNH?... by
gogu[_11_]
There is a seller advertising a Mini Sheet which comprises 6 stamps in it.
In the item description he says it's MNH but there are post office seals
placed over the 6 stamps!
Sure, the post office seals look very odonate and look like they are placed
by a machine and not by hand.
But they are...

Hi all!
Since I've recently started collecting stamps (I've collected stamps as a
young boy but randomly and most of them cancelled), I have a few dumb
questions:
1) is there a guide for new collectors like the one for coins "Coin
Collecting for Dummies" or similar?
I want (mostly) to learn the...

Does anyone know if there were ever any hand stamped precancels? I
have the precancel catalogs from the Society, but don't have them
