Bearwithfish, it is difficult to guess the number of stamps because you stated that there are stamps off and on paper in the batch. I would guess between 200 and 300 but it could be higher if there are lots of off paper stamps. |

BWF,
1 gram = 0.0352739619 ounces
26 g = 0.917123 oz.
26 g = not many stamps. |

bearwithfish, I often use this rough calculation for my count that one stamp off paper is about 0.08g, sometimes it works well.  |

Off paper 10,000 / pound (small)
Off paper 6,000 / pound (large)
On paper 2,500 /pound (small)
on paper 1,500 /pound (US comm and large)
Based on that I'll guess 271
please post what you receive.
I just weighed 26 grams of Australian Red cross mix
(lot of paper on those babies)
=137 stamps

so it came in and there were approx 104 stamps all off paper but they were HUGE stamps... the average size was 1.5 x 1.5 inches and some even larger.. I think as I paid $1 for the lot and $2 for shipping from Romania I did good with this lot and the stamps are wonderful all in great shape no bends not messed up perfs they are perfect.... |

.03 per stamp (with shipping). You did very well! Were they Romanian and other Eastern European countries? Postally used examples seem to be preferrable to CTOs. |
