quote:
Here's one of my gems (thanks Grandpa).
From Soviet Occupied Germany, 1945.
Translation: Land Reform, Province of Saxony.
I think this stamp might be rice paper. At any rate, it is nearly transparent. And that's with its original gum.
If anyone knows more about this stamp and would like to share, I know I for one would be interested.
Scott lists 4 varieties of this 12pf stamp, 13N7 is watermarked and perforated 13X12-1/2, 13N7a is watermarked and imperforate, 14N14 is unwatermarked and imperforate, and 13N16 which is watermarked and perforated 13X13-1/2 is listed as being "on thin transparent paper" which appears to be what you have. So I guess it isn't rice paper afterall. It was issued on 2/21/46. Scott catalog value (2004) was .20 mint and $2.75 used. |

A little too high, bobgggg! This 1923 American Indian Stamp (US #565) is hinged to a page from my original Scott National album. I bought the album in 1970 for $16.  |

I guess at some time we would have to start allowing some "order of magnitude gaps" if we're ever to get up to that 500 million stamp... modern_who, thanks for the info. Seems like 16 is not a very popular number. It took me a while searching through my album to find this pretty little stamp from Hungary (though it's not in the best shape).  And ... well ... you know me. I do so like those fractional values.   |

 Andrew Johnson, 17th President of the United States. Not a popular guy. |

Why would you have a 16.7c stamp? How would you pay for one stamp? Anyway here is 18c. Sorry it's a bit blurry.  Steve  |

"Junk" (advertising) mail in bulk is delivered at a discount to the first class rate if it meets certain conditions,
such as being presorted for the post office. 16.7c really means 1000 for $167. |

Andrew Johnson's portrait on the prexie stamp was probably based on this photograph, which shows him scowling:  He succeeded Lincoln and was President during a very difficult time (Reconstruction) after the Civil War. |

Pretty good likeness then. Seems like he was a rather unhappy man. --- I think this might well be the only 19 I have in my entire collection; it is definitely the only 19c USA stamp I have. Gotta love the ball-point pen cancel.  Right through poor Bambi's eye. Ouch.   |
