I tried to identify the status of some stamps offered on the Web, by using the UPU Circulars related to illegal stamps and the WNS database. The results were disappointing. My conclusions: - The existing UPU Circulars, that either don't describe the stamps that they denounce or describe them...

The Office of Inspector General of the United States Postal Service has blogged about stamp collecting. It was interested in the public opinion of the upright Jenny Invert panes. The blog generated many negative responses. All of them can be found...

One day in 1871 a model failed to appear, so the young James A. McNeill Whistler turned to his mother and suggested that he do her portrait instead. At first he had her stand, but that proved too tiring to her, and so the famous seated pose was adopted. The work of art traveled America in a...

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...

Hello! Does anyone use this catalogue I bought one year ago by VERA (2010 edition)! I have a little problem to know wath currency is used with "values" that are given! Some times, for higher valued stamps, it is clearly printed: $ ** or tab ** $ and I think it uses the US $!

In doing research for an article, there was reason to examine Internet images of Scott Germany #93 (Michel Germany #95). Two of some 25 images showed no large white dot above the "R" in "REICH." The Michel specialized catalog does not list this as a variety. Examining the images at three power...
