New Silver Marianne
I have just received the new Silver Marianne, hermeticalled sealed to
a "credit card' ( for lack of better word. ) Translating the French on the back it states that the stamp will corrode when exposed to the air and advises to leave it as received. When I went to mount it next to the first Silver Marianne I got a shock, this one has already tarnished all around the outer edge. The first Silver Marianne was also on a "credit card" but was not hermetically sealed. The stamp itself did have a loose plastic covering. The tarnish on this stamp reminded me of the old coin holders were the coins tarnished around the edges, probably from the acid content in the paper pages. I just wonder if the new Silver Marianne will suffer from acid content in the paper holder. Any comments? Ralphael, the OLD one |

New Silver Marianne
G'day Ralphael,
I am discombobulated! If the stamp is hermetically sealed, then it should not come into contact with any paper at all. I should think leave it as advised. You should invest in a scanner, we would like to see these stamps old buddy "Ralphael1" wrote in message ...

I suspect that corrode is a bit too strong word.
It is more likely that the silver stamp would oxidize or tarnish. Blair |

Surely this is NO postage stamp..... groetjes, Rein Hello Rein: Ralph is talking about the 2008 Marianne Stamp, a 5 euro silver stamp from France. La Poste presents this 2008 5 euro silver stamp made of 99.9% pure silver. Beautiful and collectible, this stamp is also a real pressure- sensitive 5 euro postage stamp, and can be used in France to mail a package. Marianne is a proud and determined woman wearing a Phrygian cap. She's the national personification of the French Republic, and a symbol of Liberty. Her image has been used on most definitive stamps issued in France since 1944, as well as on several commemorative stamps. The silver stamp comes on a collectible card, which is sealed to prevent oxidation. http://www.beautifulcoins.com/v/vspf...20200818-2.jpg This is the second silver stamp from France. The first silver stamp was issued by the Netherlands in 2001. (2001, September 25. Surprise Silver stamp.) It had a face value of 12.75 Guilders. http://www.danstopicals.com/netherlands1082.jpg TO COMMEMORATE WORLD YOUTH DAY 2008 "AUSTRALIA POST" PRODUCED AUSTRALIA'S 1ST PURE SILVER STAMP Here it is on a FDC. http://i.ebayimg.com/12/!BTBD-T!Bmk~$(KGrHgoOKi0EjlLmV1mnBKGRoTds5g~~_1.JPG In 2007, Malta issued a silver stamp, but this one is not practical for postage, in my opinion..

You must have used a digital camera or picked from the French Poste website. This is the second silver stamp from France. You are correct again. The first silver stamp is the problem one. Not hermetically sealed and mine has tarnished all around the edges. I think the cause may be acid in the paper of the "credit card". As always, you are my mentor. Ralph Blair |

Same reason that your parents' silver tarnished. Blair |

New Silver Marianne
Hi Raphael
Given that it is the second one they issue, I imagine they have recognized the problem and sealed it properly this time. I have some of the Dutch silver stamps that were issued years ago and alas, the one I have "in the open" (although in an album) has turned an ugly bluish/grey from oxidation. I myself am also to blame, I can see a partial fingerprint on it ;-) That does not help. Bye Jan "Ralphael1" schreef in bericht ...
