Would Love Some Help Identifying The Country

East China MI#84

Thanks! What does MI#84 mean?

It is the catalog number for the Michel catalogs (German). In the US, we normally use SCOTT catalogs (SC#). In the UK and other British Commonwealth areas, they use the Stanley Gibbons catalogs (SG#). In France, they use the Yvert & Tellier catalogs (YT#). Unfortunately, each of these catalogs have unique numbering systems, so it must be specified which catalog you are referencing. If I would have just stated #84, you wouldn't find your stamp there in a SCOTT catalog or a Stanley Gibbons catalog, so I specified MI# so you would know what catalog my information was coming from.

Great info, thanks. I'm still learning ;-)

Kuhli, that's good information to know. Thanks for sharing.
