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.

I recently had a sump pump failure leading to a flooded basement. Some
of my stamps in a plastic set of drawers that became buoyant because
of the bottom drawer being similar to a tub making it tip over.
Thousands of stamps in DK cards or glassiness were soaked.
I was advice by the...

(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'.
When the rate is changed the same stamp sells at a higher price and
may have a new year date on...

Colorful -- er -- Spanish postage labels? by
Joshua McGee[_3_]
What am I looking at here? http://cjoint.com/data/eqkuCp20Gt.htm
These were found in kiloware, and are clearly philatelic. Are these
meter/metre postage labels? Are they "official", "semi-official", or
"private" (is this a meaningful question?) Are they printed at a post
office or from,...

Spanish Morocco control numbers ? by
Tony Vella
Stamps of Spanish Morocco of the 40s and 50s have a small z in a circle
printed on the back "for control" (according to Scott). I find myself

on...

How much are these stamps worth? by
Captain Infinity
I pulled them out of my wallet today. They had been deeply buried.
They're dated 2006, labeled First Class USA, and show an oblique view of the
statue of liberty bust and torch, with a waving flag in the background. They
look exactly like the stamp issued in 2006 that has "39" on it, except they...

NGAI or is it??? by
[email protected]
Hello again,
I have another thought for you to ponder and share
your expert opinions.
Let's say a stamp was supposed to be issued with no gum...
well, is there a way to tell if a stamp ever had
"original gum" on it, even after magnifying the paper fibers???
some sort of "CSI" machine, let's...
