France query.
I see in the Y&T catalogue that a price is quoted for No.1816d used.
This is the 80c. Marianne de Bequet with tropical gum but without the phosphor bands. Is this a mistake or is it really possible to distinguish this stamp once it has been floated ? Thanks in anticipation, Geezer. |

If so, it must be quite common, as the price is not extraordinary. I have seen mint copies without phosphor, so it is not a matter of them coming off in soaking. The 60c and 1.00 franc also exist with and without phosphor. Here are some prices for MNH copies. 1974: YT # 1814a 60c (typography) no phosphor (1.20 euro) 1815c 60c no phosophor (10 euro) 1816a 80c no phosphor (brilliant (shiny) gum) (5 euro) 1816d 80c no phosphor (tropical gum) (3 euro) 1977: YT# 1891b 80c no phosphor (0.65 euro) 1892b 1 fr no phosphor (1 euro) Blair |

I was wondering how you could determine the gum type on a used stamp. Geezer. |

I was wondering how you could determine the gum type on a used stamp. Generally not, but sometimes it is possible. For example, if the paper differed with the different gum, as in the Italian Democratica issues in the early days of the Republic. Or if the stamp was not fully stuck down so had been torn away from the paper revealing an area of unstuck/unlicked gum. Or if the stamp had been affixed by the adjacent selvedge (a technique used if the sender wants to keep the gum intact) Or if the stamp has been favour cancelled Any more possibilities? -- Tony Clayton Coins of the UK : http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk Sent using RISCOS on an Acorn Strong Arm RiscPC .... Dumb luck beats sound planning every time. Trust me. |

I don't have an Y&T here, but I guess there is there a normal gum and without phosphor bands listed ? May the listed canceled price be the same for the two versions ? -- Cordialement Dominique Stéphan http://www.blog-philatelie.com/ Mon blog philatélie http://www.timbre-poste.com/ Timbres-poste d'usage courant http://amisdemarianne.free.fr/ Cercle des Amis de Marianne |

Since the stamp with tropival gum was intended for use in the overseas departments of Ftance, then I imagine that you could tell by the cancellation. However that is no guarantee. Blair |
