What are Becks stamps?
EDIT: I should have known you mean Seebeck! What a character he was. |

The Brazilian stamp is a Scott 668. Nothing at all rare about it. Are you referring to the auction house, Beck Stamp Auctions, in Mesa, Arizona, USA? Dan  |

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.

The Nicaraguan stamp is from a series of stamps issued in 1897, just like it says on the stamp. There are two different kinds listed. What do you mean by a realistic opinion. If you mean price about 2 Euros.

The stamp you show is a regular postage stamp used in Nicaragua. Worth a dollar or two. If you are asking about Seebeck reproductions, that is a totally different thing. Those are reproductions, and to a collector of stamps of no value and / or interest. Some of those were printed by overzealous stamp dealers as the real thing was rare or expensive or hard to get. Does this help?

Just google Nichloas F. Seebeck if you really want to confuse yourself with that stuff!

Can you explain what confuses you? The stamps that are shown are reproductions - what is confusing about that?

Because I've got some of them, but with the exception of the one attached in this post they are all in mint condition, also they are issued till 1899 and because I understood that reprints are printed in a later years than 1899, so I don't know if my stamps are reprints or not... Oh god it's so difficult sometimes to express myself in english |

Robi, the mint ones you have are very good candidates to be reproductions. These reproductions are very often extremely good and hard to distinguish from the real thing. You might show some here, but many of them need in-hand examination.

Just to clear the air--or to muddy the waters--I know of no Brazilian Seebeck stamps. (I hope I'm not wrong.)
