Hello All,

Can anybody confirm if this stamp is a Scott no 92? I am unsure of the colour.

Thanks

Simon

No, 92 would be a coil stamp. This one has perfs all around.

Yep...and the coil version is apparently the rarest Irish stamp there is.

Mighty nice stamp from Ireland! I think their older airmails are the top bananas in my albums.

Yeah, but what's that critter on the stamp?
A water bear? (Tardigrade.)

Thanks everyone for your answers (I now know what a coil stamp is - please excuse my ignorance!).

I still am unsure of the Scott number for the stamp. Below I think stamp 1 is no. 66, stamp 2 is no. 68 and stamp 3??

Seems I was mistaken. Irish coils are seldom seen, though. The rarest one is perforated vertically.
