Can someone give me some tips on how to identify these? I don't know much about identifying foreign stamps. Thanks in advance!

Redwoodeandy does the double coat of arms have significance? I can't seem to find anything about it.

The double eagle is emblematic of the dual monarchy of Austro Hungary, KK stands for Kaiserlich und Koniglich meaning the same guy was Emperor of Austria and King of hungary. I suppose an eagle with one head and two bodies would be awkward to draw!

Nocassel that would look a little strange.

I wasn't sure if he was referring to how heavy the ink seems on the coat of arms on the 30 cent stamp compared to the other.

i have a similar stamp that i've been curious about for some time. the paper is thick and white gum on back side. several hinge marks so this has been around a long time. I put it aside about 20 years ago. expensive if the real deal but reprints exist of some of this type according to scotts. anyone expert enough to have a clue about it's authenticity?

Lombardy-Venetia 5c:

Not an expert, but I've seen enough of the reprints to hopefully point you in the right direction. Thanks for the good description. There are 6 reprints that Michel lists aside from 3 varieties of the issued stamp.

By what I can tell, it's machine-made paper. But the extreme whiteness suggests a reprint. It's hard to tell from the image, but it looks to be slightly shiny-surfaced though not slick like modern magazine paper. That and the white gum says "reprint"; this gum should be relatively thin or at least not heavy. The printed impression is very good. So, I'm pretty confident this is the 1866 first reprint. It still is of pretty good value, though I don't have a current catalog value for you.

That is a given for any stamp, no? Or do you mean something else? perf12 is showing us one that is a sheet margin example that also might be the orange shade. Further, it has specks of something on the face and has light toning at the top. I wouldn't call it "nitida", but there you are. There is also no mention of hinging.

Only 500 sets were made of the 1866 reprints as noted in that description.

In the reprints the background dot's are more even and a clearer in the impression.

In the 1st printing the C & E,N & T are touching.Overall heavier impression.
