Dear friends,
I'm just sorting out all my Venezuela stamps and have a question regarding
Scott catalogue ids. I would like to know which is the difference between
Venezuela Scott 1238 and 1239. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Pedro

Hello Pedro:

Here is a First Day Cover of the two to show the different designs.

Happy Collecting.

Thank you very much Blair. The problem with Scott catalog is that it doesn't
show pictures for all the stamps in a series, and, in this case, even the
description of 1239 is somewhat vague as 1238 also shows an emblem and I
thought that perhaps there were only minor difrerences. I apprceiate very
much your help.

best wishes,
Pedro

You are most welcome, Pedro. I too have been the victim of Scotts
less than
complete listings. That is a problem when you are an All World
catalogue.
Luckily, now you can go online.and usually get an answer. I find that
EBAY is
a good source of scans of stamps. Not always great scans, but you
still get
the information.
