Hi
I'm new to this forum, and hope I can find some much needed help. I recently inherited a stamp collection that was originally owned by my great-grand and then passed down to my grandmother, and now on to me. I've gone through the stamps just looking at them all, and can't seem to find info on these...they are Brazil (spelled Brasil) stamps and are sealed in this pocket. They say Brasil C$-40.00 (I'm assuming the price?) at the bottom of the sheet. They are NOT attached~there appears to be 6 total, with the large top stamp having 3 pieces.
Can anyone give me a little more info no these? I'd greatly appreciate it. They are probably typical common stamps, BUT I can't seem to find the big one on ebay or elsewhere on the web...any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your time!

Welcome to Stamp Community Forum, KKsMom!

Nice stamps!

From the 2009 Scott catalog (catalog numbers all for Brazil), prices for mint never hinged...

Top:
#1484(5Nov1976), $1.50

Bottom (left to right):
#953(5Mar1963), 30c
#968(5Nov1963), 50c
#C111(13Jun1966), 25c
#977(9Apr1964), 50c
#995(28Jul1965), 20c

That was probably the dealer's selling price back then. All those stamps are not of the same set. I think the dealer was simply putting a small lot of mint Brazilian stamps together.

The price notation seems to read Cr$. I don't know what currency that is unless it is Cruzeiros.
