Sir,
It cannot be Scott #28 as it is a "Postage Due"
Look at the Postage due listings in Scott.

Also it is not 10 Paras, as it is designated in Arabic as 5
I'd suggest it is a J24 but I am not sufficiently experienced in Turkish Postage Dues.


Common mistake, I see one on ebay right now, asking $79 for a $3 stamp.

A courtesy reminder: On Forums it is considered "shouting" when you type in all Capitals, you may wish to go lower type in future.
Cheers

I'd suggest that is a Scott #32 5 Piastre Blue (Pin Perf) $4 / $12

Both your stamps,for Turkey are in good / excellent condition.

I'll look through my images for an Arabic numeral chart. (actually there is one in the Scott Catalogue, beginning of Turkey, the "5" looks like our zero "O" )

....Thanks Don,

Hello Kim,
Fairly representative of a typical page, one would buy at auction,
I would be paying around $10 -$14 for the page depending on the quality of stamps.

Your best, may I suggest, is the 1880-1884 last stamp right hand side "1 Piastres"
Black and Blue? or Black and grey blue.

That catalogues at $75 mint, I bought one this morning from ebay for $4.95
(hoping) it is a grey blue, ( I took a punt)

Now all you have to do, is fill in the missing gaps
Happy collecting.


PS: Not sure if it is a picture on the page ?

1876 10 Para black and white stamp, if it is a stamp, it is a postage due, and does not belong on that page.

PPS: The top two images of gentlemen, are Cinderella Stamps from the Scott publishing company, produced to be placed on Stamp Album pages, as yours.


Quote:
But the few here are ALL mint, hinged stamps.


Correction, the stamp at bottom of page is ripped / torn.
It is OK for me, but most collectors consider these "worthless"


PPPS : The bottom stamps, are referred to as "Ampir" stamps, but perhaps more correctly, should be "Crescent Stamps"
Ampir is a derivitive of the name on the stamp... Empire Ottoman.

The background is printed Lithography (left hand mirrors the right hand of the design)
and the text and design is Typography.
