United Nations 38
Hi,
I have two sheets United Nations 38. According to the Scott catalog there are two printings. I have two of these sheets, but i am having a difficulty keeping them apart. Can someone assist please. If I have to believe the sellers, I should have one of each printing. According to the Scott catalog, I should look at the 8c stamp and locate a broken line of background shading _below_ the left leg of the 'n' of 'Unies'. To be honest I don't see a difference. I only see a difference to the _left_ of the left leg of the 'n' of 'Unies'. I have uploaded an image to my server. One of these should be the first printing, the other one should be the second printing. http://www.hystrix.be/Images/un-38.jpg Any help is greatly appreciated. Sir Hystrix |

Me neither. Both have a break in the line under and to the right that would just miss the leg if it were not broken. The bottom of the leg itself is slightly tilted in the right image and has a bar in the leg image. But without an actual illustration of the intended difference, it is hard to be sure. Terry I only see a difference to the _left_ of the left leg of the 'n' of 'Unies'. I have uploaded an image to my server.

To see examples of the first printing, go to the StampStore at stamps.org. First printing: http://www.stamps.org/ShowStamp.aspx....jpg&time=4209 http://www.stamps.org/ShowStamp.aspx....jpg&time=4211 http://www.stamps.org/ShowStamp.aspx....jpg&time=4212 http://www.stamps.org/ShowStamp.aspx....jpg&time=4215 http://www.stamps.org/ShowStamp.aspx....jpg&time=4226 This looks like the second printing: http://www.stamps.org/ShowStamp.aspx....jpg&time=4208 "United Nations Philately" edited by Arleigh Gaines: "The shading under the word "Unies" on the 8c denomination was corrected between printings. On the first printing, there is a white gap under the first leg of the "n". On the second printing, this has been filled in. The lighter shading lines on the background of the 3c denomination also have been strengthened." |

Sorry, looks like those URL's don't work. Here the description from the 1972 Lindner catalog. "The word "Unies" on the open book of the 8c stamp is the best distinguishing factor for the two printings: In the first printing there is a blank space between the letters "n" and "i" and also "i" and "e", furthermore a white space below the left leg of the already mentioned "n". In the second printing those blank spaces have been eliminated by filling the spaces. Also many light lines added to strengthen book pages on 3c." |

From the description below and the stampstore images, I agree. Sorry, looks like those URL's don't work. They seem to be time-stamped. Go to http://stamps.org/StampStore and search United Nations 38 and they appear on the first page. Here the description from the 1972 Lindner catalog. "The word "Unies" on the open book of the 8c stamp is the best distinguishing factor for the two printings: In the first printing there is a blank space between the letters "n" and "i" and also "i" and "e", furthermore a white space below the left leg of the already mentioned "n".
