Microprinting etc on US stamps
The subject has become rather amusing as of late. Noting that I could
not find any one source that had a list of US stamps containing microprinting, hidden images/indicia and luminescence/phosphoresence, I've spent the better part of two days compiling one. My sources are Linn's Stamp News (Dec 31, 2001 & Dec 1, 2003) and the Internet with my trusty Google search engine. At this point I've found 308 US stamps that fall into this catagory. Sounds like a fun adventure to assemble a collection of them, perhaps with a notation on what particular characteristic each one has. It would appear that there are a number of non-US stamps with some form of these same attributes on them, however since my main interests are the US and Canada, I didn't compile anything but US data. I'll do Canada at another time. I've not verified each stamp, just collected the data so its possible there might be an error or two. By the same token, its just as likely that some stamps not listed that have these attributes. If anyone is interested in the list, let me know and I'd be glad to email it to you as either a Word document or a text file. |
