Thank you! I'm pretty new at this as this is only my second country (Iceland was the first) to sort by years and I didn't realize that the year is printed on many of the stamps. Obviously knowing this will help immensely from here on out. By the way, all three had dates on them and I did find them all in Scott's this go around. Thanks again, Jim
Jim, almost everybody is now putting the year of issue on their stamps. Even the United States started doing this sometime in the latter days of last the century. I believe pressure from stamp collectors had quite a bit to do with this!
All these Swedish stamps have years in the lower right hand corner. I agree that putting a year on the stamp makes it easier to identify them. When you a packet of "50 different" or "100 different" you can sort them by year, which makes it easier to put them in an album by chronological order.
