Not valuable specimens I am sure, but I can't seem to find these in the Scott Specialized Classic...hopefully not staring me in the face.
Description: Dual Monarchy Eagle in center with shield, two heads, crown above. In each of the bottom two corners is the value, within an oval...5 looks green, 10- carmine, and 10 -blue, but the values now in the top two corners. Otherwise no wording anywhere in the design. They are not newspaper or postage dues or any of the other common BOB as far as I can tell. I would love to post a photo, but after cropping it to 36.9kb, well below the 200...it still will not load. I gave up on using that. Any idea from my admittedly poor description? John

Taking an educated guess.

Take a look at Bosnia Hercegovina.

10 blue is first series.

5 green and 10 red is second series.

Hummm, it is 35.9kb size, and after saving I get no "Green Download" button next to the thumbnail. Yet, it is in my downloads on my hard drive and when I attach it to upload I get "Must be less than 200kb..." message. I don't post enough photos on here for it to be routine, its a new adventure every time I use the Optimizer.

Pretty sure Johan has it. Do they look something like this?




This is a 5-heller from the 1900 issue that I grabbed from the first page of Google results.

They make for a pretty set. The earlier issues do, too.

svensson. If they look like Cjd`s stamp. They are Bosnia Herzegovinia.

Values in top corner are 1879 issue.

Values in lower corner are 1900 issue.

Cannot get the image optimiser to work, so cannot upload images.
