Collecting Canadian Stamps

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I just got back into collecting after putting it aside for 10 years, this time I'm sticking with just Canadian. I'd like to eventually sell or trade my US and international stuff.

Hello Sparkle8, welcome.

There are lots of resourses on this site as well as references to other web sites that could be useful for you.

We all like to hear of and see what other collectors are up to and see stamps, if you wish to show yours and ask questions or talk about them.

Thanks for the welcome. I have lots of questions but I'm still figuring out how to navigate this website...

Welcome to the group Sparkle8!

I've had this classic cover with a Nova Scotia bi-sect stamp on it from the mid-nineteenth century. Since the stamp is cut in half I only had partial information on it. I've looked up the period stamps for two-cent classic Nova Scotia Victorian stamps and the colour of a two-cent (somewhat purple) clearly does not match the light greenish colour of the one bi-sect on the cover. Therefore, can someone help me identify my bi-sect stamp (pictured in detail below) and explain why it is not the colour shown in the website referred to as the following:- [http://frmfoundation.org/NovaScotia...d3/index.php]. ---> ok, just tried to post a picture of the stamp I am writing about and for some reason unable to - weird. <-----#128513;

OK, here is the image of the Nova Scotia bi-sect stamp on cover that I was asking questions about :)
