Because of their design and quality of printing, I quite enjoy finding these stamps. Not just B.C. but those of other provinces as well. I realize that they are a revenue issue and have not actively sought them out, but recently I came into possession of these two used on documents.
One appears to be a formal legal document, perhaps a summons, and the other is less formal in appearance but I would make a guess that it is an attempt to collect a debt for the purchase of a Typewriter (???). These two are obviously much more interesting than merely collecting single cancelled issues, just as postally used covers can often be more interesting than the stamp used on them.
Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to collect issues on legal documents in an organized way? For example, are documents marketed as such for some premium over the individual issue price?
And as a seperate question, what determines the amount of the stamp that has to be attached to the document? I note the one has a twenty-five cent attached and the other appears to have two ten cent values, unfortunately on top of one another.
