Proofs. Since they are reasonably priced (Some of them) and instead of chasing some of the classics unused, these seem to be a much more attractive group.

Very nice, stallzer.

One can certainly see the beauty of the design in the proofs.

Hey Yobo :) Thanks, I really think these show the beautiful engraving in great detail. They are also less expensive than the Stamps in unmounted condition.

A good way to have some beautiful older engravings in a collection.
They're the same size as the original stamp, or larger?
