I just bought this.
Was wondering if anyone could help me in identifying these Greece Hermes stamps. Thank you.

Looks like the first denomination in the 1876 series of definitive Hermes heads. I do not have a Scott but I doubt if they give a value for that one. ( I meant I do not think they give a value for a bunch of
stamps on one envelope ).

First denomination of 1876 seems to be Scott #49 or 49a. depending on color ID

I would put this in the 1880-86 printings. (Hellas 53b yellowish brown)
Given also it has an 1885 postmark.
The 1 lepta exists in this printing: Deep Brown on yellowish,Yellowish Brown,Red Brown,Deep red Brown,Grey Brown.(That is Hellas listing).

Is this the entire piece? I've never seen as many Hermes heads on cover.

Not the entire piece. At least 4 stamps in the middle are missing.
