I bought the essay as part of a generic dues lot that had something like four other dues from that series (I can't remember for sure, under $5 though). When I looked it up in Scott they said 'essay, worth $70'. I thought that was a pretty good deal. The next year Scott had it at $700 and then $1200, and then... I haven't ever seen another as well centered, though four or five of them have shown up for auction at ISFILA over the years. I believe the changes Scott has made to the pricing reflect the ones sold by ISFILA during that period, since I haven't seen any offered elsewhere. |

All fairly easy...
Scott #112, 1901 20 para for domestic postage, rough perfs
Scott #355A, 1916 overprint on 20 para issue from 1898
Both Scott #288, 1915 overprint on 10 para issue of 1892
Scott #291, 1915 overprint on overprinted issue for 1897
From two different sets (notice the writing under the tughra) Scott #163 1909 issue with overprint for discounted use by merchants to foreign destinations, and Scott #128, 1906 issue with same overprint type. |

Nice to see you collecting Turkey Manukado !
2 things to look for with beginners
1. The shape of the star (6 pointed and 5 pointed)
that will direct you to a year period
2. As of the last 2 stamps, the text under the Tughra, one has a gap, the other not.
This used to catch me out when buying online with poor images.
Always check that gap for Scott "Type" ID.

Thank you for ther help billsey and rod222.
I am not sure I will collrct Turkey yet because at the moment I am sorting some acumulations of stamps. In case I do start it will be from beginning untill ww2. Modern turkish stamps just do not appeal to me. |
