Newbie Help With Swiss Stamps! + Introducing Myself

Hi,

This is my first post on stampcommunity.org .I have been using stamp-forum but its a bit quiet over there.

I recently inherited a stamp collection a few weeks back. Me and my girlfriend have been working through 1000s of stamps now and have found a few hidden treasures :-)! We have been using the scotts catalog and have been organizing and coming to terms with how this catalog works.

We have noticed that some stamps are easier to find than other as some are very similar.

Could anybody here help us determine which stamps we have below. Some are cancelled and hinged and this will probably effect there value.If they have any value at all.

We believe the top row of stamps in the attachment might be rare stamps but we are struggling to determine which stamps these are.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Many regards
Heath

Thanks Kirk :-)

Hello and welcome to SCF. All the stamps that you're showing are from Switzerland. "Helvetia" is the name of this country in Latin. You can easily find on Scott catalog.
