Greece Early Stamps

I find it difficult to distinguish early Greece ..any tips out there ?

You are not alone there RB,
but you are on SCF
pop a few scans, and we shall sort them out for you. :)

Tough, tough tough.


1882 Scott 56 20 lepta pale rose on Cream paper, no Control Number on back

Some come in unique colors, such as the 20 l pale rose above.

The less expensive (and hence more common) 1880-82 5l green, 10 l orange, 20 l ultramarine, 30 l ultramarine, and 40 l lilac do not have control numbers on back, and are on cream colored paper. These are fairly easy to determine.

For all the issues, I did put together an evaluation scheme from the perspective of a non specialist in Hermes Heads.

If you have specific questions, scan them up as rod222 suggested.

And Vasia, who frequents this board, is quite expert at identifications.
