OK,
shall do,
but hypothetically then, anybody know if
this issue in question 1932 would have been coated in chalk?
Thanks

Rod,

try to see the glossy surface first before you destroy your stamp by using
silver coins!

groetjes, Rein

1929 Lion Rampant
Issued 1929 and 1932 as coated paper

How does one ID the "coated"...and would that be chalk?

Michel:

plain...gewoehnliches Papier (oe=o-umlaut)

coated...gestrichenes Papier

Thanks

A good Wikipedia article on different papers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postage_stamp_paper

The 1932-5 lion stamps (SG 275-79) exiist on both
ordinary (Michel 201x to 205x) paper and also on
chalky (Michel 201y to 205y) paper.

Values are the same for both.
