So based on the flag I could tell at least one of these is N Korean. The stamps have a straight line perf that does not match the cuts. The paper is very thin. No hinging. Hard to tell if there is gum. I couldn't find anything like this on the web. So are they North Korean? Are they real? What year ? Are they worth anything?

Ps Everyone on this forum rocks.

Heidivee, I know very little about Korean stamps, but if you have a bunch of them you could go to www.Stampworld.com
This website is a world wide stamp catalog. They won't give you Scott numbers, but do show a retail value!

thank you everyone. How can you tell if it's original or a 1957 re-issue? Mine have cuts but very fine perf if you look on the back. No grooves, just a straight line perf that looks like it wouldn't tear right.

I found the re-issue thing on the first link listed. It was giving values for the original stamp and then the re-issue.
