Default Newbie question.

Hi all!
I'm new in stamps collecting and I have a question that may seem stupid to
you but...;-)
I am on Vatican's mailing list and I received their order form for the
latest stamps.
In the included leaflet for a certain stamp I read:
Valore facciale: 0,60 euros
Foglio da: 10 francobolli

On the order form I see for the same stamp:
Price 0,60 euros
And then if I want to order "Mint Sets", "Cancelled Sets" etc.

My question is what does "Mint set" means?!
Sure, I know what a mint set in coins is but I don't know what it is in
stamps!
Is a "Mint Set" the entire "Foglio", meaning 10 stamps?
So when I order 1 Mint Set does it mean that I'm actually ordering 10 stamps
so I have to multiply the price reported above (0,60 euros) per 10?

TIA even if my question seems stupid to you;-)

Hello:

In the case of stamp collecting, a mint (not cancelled or used)
set is a set of 1 copy of each DIFFERENT stamp in the set.

So if your Vatican set has only one stamp, then the mint set also
has only one stamp. Price 60 Euro cents.

A "foglio" is Italian for a sheet. In your case, the stamp was
printed in sheets of ten stamps, so the price of the sheet is
six Euros.

Mint stamps can be mint and have been hinged (MH) or
mint NOT hinged (MNH). The hinged stamps will be
missing some gum on the back. Mint hinged stamps
may sell for less than mint NOT hinged stamps.

I hope that this helps you.

Blair

You are wrong!
This is a spamtrap address and of course it's a "retaliation" to some
neo-nazi conationals!
If you have a problem with the address and don't care about the content of
the posting...what can I say...
Anyway, I don't recall anyone asking you to translate my spamtrap address...

From the RCSD Charter:

"Language:

Rec.collecting.stamps.discuss is an international forum and articles may be
posted in any language. Since the continuation of the hobby requires that we
involve children and make them interested and comfortable as collectors,
profanity is prohibited (and is truly unnecessary for discussing stamps). "

http://www.pwmo.org/rcsd-charter-and-faq.htm

Because the e-mail address of the poster is obviously _obscene_ for any
Romanian speaking person (and for this reason a translation of it would
again infringe our Charter), anything he writes doesn't belong to this ng.

Romanul tot Roman...
Ba si constipat pe deasupra...
Sa nu mentinoam si gindirea comunista de a controla totul si a interzice ce
nu ii place...
Sinteti de plins tataie, nu de geaba toata lumea va considera niste
inapoiati si primitivi...
Apropo, nicaieri nu spune nimic de...adrese!
Vorbeste de "language of discussion" si nu de "adrese nedorite de niste
complexati"!
Dar repet: romanul provincial tot roman provincial...
Si tot comunist...
Apropo, cine te a facut moderator?...
Lasa, intrebarea era retorica.
Mi-e lehamite de alde voi comunistilor!

I tried, you don't want to understand...you are hopeless.

So if you don't like something in my postings please in the future restrain
yourself from answering.

You are not welcomed.

We in this ng are interested in stamps and most of us collect them for a
long time.

It is common knowledge that the participants are not interested in novelties
like "spamtraps", "retaliation", foul language, etc.

Therefore to bring something useful here get a life, for example by
collecting stamps!
