Help Identify What I Think Is A Newspaper Stamp

Can anyone confirm for me whether this is a newspaper stamp and if so, where it's from? I acquired a bunch of old stamps and this one was included, but can't seem to find out much about it.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Looks like a normal "Hermes" stamp of Greek origin....and probably quite valuable.

Thanks so much. I was having the hardest time trying to figure it out. Unfortunately, it looks like on ebay a similar one just sold for $9.99. Thank you again!

A stamp with a market value of $10 is pretty valuable to me.

It is an attractive stamp.

The Greece "Hermes Heads" are quite the study and without knowing the different printings might be difficult to put a price tag on. See here for more information.

It is a 1861 imperf "Hermes" stamp from Greece. As already mentioned... the value is quite decent if you consider most stamps are worth pennies

Thanks so much for all of the information. I am quite impressed with the knowledge of stamp collectors. At least I can set this one aside for now, and will read up on the Hermes Heads :)

...but first uncurl the top left corner...and then put it in a decent mount. 1861 deserves some care and attention

Thanks Scott... I will heed your advice.

This is from the other thread here regarding the printings of the 80 lepta.

As written by our resident expert Vasia. Scotzm, is this one a first Paris print ? I'm still trying to wrap my head around these.

The 80 lepta Large Hermes Heads were printed in three different periods:
1. Paris prints (Scott 6)
2. Athens Consecutive Prints (Scott 15 and 22) with orange and carmine control numbers respectively.
3. 1873-1875 printings (Scott 29). These printings are often included under the so-called "Cleaned Plates" 1868-1869 issue, although they were printed significantly later.

The most distinctive characteristic of these late 80 lepta is the "0" of the control number, which is usually thicker than the "8" (due to greater wear of the "0" digits which were used successively in several values).

I did rather jump in with a 1861... but I think they did not have a control number after all. So, maybe a 1862 or 68? I defer to better brains and eyesight

The Hermes 80 lepta (with figures on back) includes Scott #15, 22, and 29; did I miss any? Scott #6 has no figures.

The Vlastos Catalog (some in Greek, some in English) is a good source for more specialized information.

It looks VERY toned and foxed- I assume that would drastically lower it's value?

I don't really collect Greece. But, I do have a few covers. I know many languages, but this one is all Greek to me.

Why do I think those stamps are not part of the original cover but added later ?

Stallzer, your inquisitive and curious mind has led me to examine the cover closely for the first time since I have it and God knows how long that was. The stamps were placed on the cover in such a random and unpleasing manner also make me quite suspicious. And, the wrinkles in the cover around the stamps are quite unusual. However, I do find another postmark on reverse that matches perfectly to the postmarks on the stamps, which are actually well tied to the cover. As I said, I don't collect Greece. I can't even read the postmarks, except for the numerals. I welcome your opinion with pleasure.
