Turkey question. by Tony Vella
I found some Turkish stamps from the 40s with strange denominations: 6¾, 13½, 17½ and 27½ kurus. Can someone please explain to me the reason or necessity for such denominations. Thanks in advance. -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://amedialuz.shorturl.com

(RCSD) Rate change stamps by Ralphael1
I have a problem with catalog listings of NVI stamps that have undergone a rate change, When a stamp is issued the catalog makers give it a number and list all the pertinent facts including 'face value'.
