Is this ng dead ? A question about UPU taxations
I am afraid this usenet ng is quite dead with nearly zero messages nowadays.
Who says no ? http://cjoint.com/?BAkxccbPvJc I would need a documented explanation for this postage due 43 gold centimes tax (0,43 gold francs) to 14 US-cents in 1960. What was the official postal rate (US§ - Gold franc) ? -- Greetings, Cordialement, Bruno |

Hi Bruno, You are right, alas .... http://cjoint.com/?BAkxccbPvJc I would need a documented explanation for this postage due 43 gold centimes tax (0,43 gold francs) to 14 US-cents in 1960. What was the official postal rate (US§ - Gold franc) ? I am not at all a specialist of this kind of thing. But perhaps could it be possible to read 0,93 instead of 0,43 ? In any case these figures have been written by a French. If it was by an American, the writing would be .93 or .43. HTH -- All the best, Pierre |

Hi Bill, So does Bruno ! Personnally, my ISP still supports newsgroups and I am quite happy of this. The absence of support by many ISP's to newsgroups is not really very new and a lot of other factors explain that there are less and less messages in these kind of Usenet newsgroups. One of them beeing that it is not possible to attach an image to a message. This was undestandable years ago when everyone had a low speed connection. Now nearly everybody is able to transmit in ADSL or equivalent thus the limitation on messages sizes is quite frustrating. -- All the best, Pierre Courtiade to answer me, please replace NOSPAM by my family name |

I believe some alt. newsgroups allow attaching messages, but there seems to be even less activity in these groups. I see one message in alt.collecting.stamps. Bill |

If it was by an American, the writing would be .93 or .43. No, Pierre, it's definitely 0,43 (or .43) gold francs of the UPU system. I discussed recently about another cover (1961) with 12 cents postage due stamps and a 37 gold centimes UPU tax due mention. The proportion is the same : 12 / 37 = 14 / 43 0,43 Gold-F as equivalent to 14 cents, that makes 0.326 US$ for a (postal) gold franc. I was just wondering if there was anything official within US postal service about that figure. And yes, the UPU tax due value in gold francs should be written by the departure postal authority. -- Greetings, Bruno |
