Your Favorite Stamp?

Yes Rod! It just give it that balance! An amazing stamp!

Its the high value of the 1933 set often referred to as the "Wilberforce" set, a set which unfortunately does pretty well holding its value against Scott's catalogue value. I don't hold out any great hope of running across it at 25% of Scott.

It is a sharp set overall, but the second- and third-highest values (George V, and an elephant) are also very, very nice.

I think it has all of the qualities mentioned, plus the magic from the designer/engraver of making two colors look like so much more...

Another on the list of favorites:



I just upgraded my copy by picking up this one from north of the border, courtesy of our colleague, Mr. Dennis.

spock was lamenting the lack of Edwards, so here are a couple of color combinations that I have always liked in the Commonwealth stamps...

Lovely stamps and scans Collin,
really well balanced designs,
I note the differing crowns used above Edward
I wonder what the significance there

Amazing. Bee See and Rod. Wow.

Rod, how many moons have you been acquiring and sorting out all the data and info you have? I like it!

About 10 moons puzzler

my hopeful motto "sort it as soon as you get it"
but it never works that way does it.
If you leave boxes of stamp junk around, it seems to multiply.

Puzzler,
here is the lithographic stone, that printed the siblings to BeeSee's stamp.
(it was only discovered in the 1970's)

The arrow points to the location that printed this stamp.

My favorite stamp has always been this one

Mine too, Nugget :)
I still do not own one,
whenever I get tempted, I see another lot of 2kg of stamps I can buy
with the $500.

I recently identified the man who forged the penny Bridge
in an old magazine.

Now you're just showing off...

Hmmm I suppose I owe you a close up.

A famous "Appleby" cover,
possibly 50 or more from this Englishman,
I saw one go at auction here about eight years ago
for around $40
