I'm new in stamp collecting. What i do now is i keep whatever stamps that stick on the envelope of letters that arrive at my house. I've tried reading all the topics that are posted in this group, but i don't understand much what you guys are talking about. Where should i start to begin to...

I am about 3 stamps short of the entire collection of 65 issues (that were not overprinted) In the 40f olive, this stamps seems to be the only one with the value tablet printed in a colour other than the colour of the stamp (black-olive) indicating a two pass print regime. I just wonder if it's...

I wonder, is anyone using ACDSee as their image viewer? I am having problems with the Euro symbol (Alt+1028) I can place the symbol in the stamp descriptor box in list view but in "rename" mode when F2 is pressed on the stamp image the euro symbol is auto replaced with a question mark and ACDSee...

In a lot received today I found these Egypt overprints http://shoebox.heindorffhus.dk/EgyptOvpt.jpg What does O.H.H.S. mean? Something with "On His ... Service"? What were they used for? Where do I look for them in the catalogues? I am really getting far and wide around the world these days :-)...

I don't think someone was concentrating at the post office on 28 Nov 1958. I have the date of issue for this stamp from early 1960 and later. http://www.stampmad.com/phpbb2stamps/viewtopic.php?t=80 Also, is this cancel "M V" for Merchant Vessel or some other cancel? I'm not sure. Just looked odd...

Dear all, I come from Hong Kong. I have been actively collecting stamps for few years. And right now, I have some stamps. My preference is NO CTO. But I find that it is very difficult to identify in some cases. I did buy one Singapore used set, the cancel is not partial of the circle, they...

Hi All, I have this nice set of Renoir-paintings from Guernsey 1983. http://queries.heindorffhus.dk/GuernseyRenoir.htm On image no. 2 and 4 painting's title is spelled with an extra 'e' in GUERNESEY (as opposed to the island's name GUERNSEY). I wonder whether this might be a printing error, or...

I'm going through a cut square collection. I seem to have hundreds if not thousands. I'm at the same time writing in a message box the pros and cons of cut squares trying to understand why they have never excited the stamp collector as much as other areas. Are they boring? Difficult with their...

I've heard about these but know practically nothing about them. Does anyone know anything more?

I have not yet heard any dates for any of the ten new E.U. members to adopt the Euro, which will affect their stamps, coins and banknotes. Does anyone in RCSD have any further information regarding Euro migration for any of these countries? Background: On 1 May 2004 ten new Member States joined...

Further to Mette's enquiry about the cover with a strange barcode on tape, I have just received the following cover from The UK. It contained a philatelic journal and shows one barcode on the cover proper (possibly inverted) and another on an adhesive label with rounded...

I am at present working on a page about the French Romanticist painter Eugene Delacroix. I was rather surprised that Michel Catalogue describes France 1995, Michel 3089 (Scott # 2477) as "Palais Bourbon, Siege of the National Assembly, part of the painting "Liberty Leading the People" by Eugene...

I know that the term "cut square" is used to refer to the impression when it's cut from the entire piece, but it seems not quite correct to refer to the "stamp"...

Hi All: Any real difference between the Showguard, Scott & Prinz brands? I have been using Prinz, which work fine for me...I just thought that since all are about the same price, I would ask if I'm missing anything. -------------- Kevin "You may my glories and my state depose, But not my griefs;...
