I think they are all pretty interesting. #1 - Guatamala 1902 seis centavos Image: IMG00440.jpg48.16 KB #2 - Libia 5 and 10 cent that say "due popoli una guerra" Image: IMG00444.jpg57.35 KB #3 - I have a bunch of these with errors/over prints. some of them are a little different but many pretty similar. Image: IMG00445.jpg56.63 KB #4 - no idea what this is but on it is a bird, has a 5 and says "cesro posta slovenska" I believe. in very tiny letters looks like it says mucha. Image: IMG00446.jpg22.01 KB any help is much appreciated. thanks

#3 They are from the German inflation issues of 1923 leading to the highest denomination ever issued by a government, Scott #315/16, 20/21 = 10,000,000,000 marks |

#4 Is a Czechoslovakia Newspaper stamp Scott #P2, in 1920. It appears to to be green not dark green so it is not Scott # P2a. After indepence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire the 1st stamp designs seperated Cesko (Czech) & Slovenska (Slovenia). In 1919 new designs changed to Cesko-Slovenska, then hyphen dropped in 1920. Posta is Czech for Postage.

Thanks Warrehouse! I have a bunch of stamps from different countries that I receieved from my granfather years ago and have just really started to look at them. I have a couple more questions the ones you ID'd for me, are they pretty common or possibly something of some value? I have a ton of the german ones with all different denominations on them.
I also have a bunch of 1945 hungarian stamps mostly overprints if you know of somewhere on the web I could look to possibly ID them? I havent been able to find any type of Scott(even US) catalog anywhere.
Thanks again! |

Nixer, The stamps are not worth alot, but are a good base to start collecting yourself. Those German stamps you mention are likely the 1923 inflation issues, most are pentiful. The Hungarian overprints have alot of possiblities, you could have a find in there. Post them I'll see if I can figure it out.
Enjoy! Mike |

Great thanks. I started with just a few to see if the pics are going to be good enough to see what they are. I will do my best to desrcibe as well. I hope they are even Hungary, thats what was written in handwriting in the book I found them in. #1 - (on left)18f overprint says Tavolsagl level, on right - 50 f overprint says Hl. l. Image: IMG00452.jpg25.79 KB #2 - on left 20 f woman holding a double cross and a bible overprint says Ajl. l., on right 13f gorgry artur overprint says Ajl. 2. Image: IMG00453.jpg26.33 KB #3 - on left 4f humadi ianos overprint reads Tavolsagi lev.-lap, on right 24f szent margit overprint reads ajanlas Image: IMG00456.jpg22.18 KB #4 -on left 30 pengo with a crown and cross on it overprint reads 1945 4 pengo, on right 12f, the same as #2 but the paper is yellow instead of white and the overprint reads 1945 100 pengo Image: IMG00457.jpg49.01 KB #5 - on left 50f kanizsai dorottya overprint reads 1945 3 pengo, right 40 posta overprint reads 1945 1 pengo Image: IMG00458.jpg44.44 KB Most of the other ones I did not add have the overprint of 1945 and some # then pengo. Is there something I should look for in these I have almost 20 more that I did not post. Thanks a lot I really just started to look at this stamp collection this week and have found this really helpful. |

Regarding your Czech stamp: "Mucha" refers to the designer, Alfons Mucha, who is best known for his illustrations depicting women, many of which were used in ads in the early part of the 20th Century. You've probably seen his stuff and don't even know it. He also designed the first two regular Czech issues, with pictures of Hradcany Castle. Here's a typical Mucha; most were done in a similar style:  |
