This is the second thread about this stamp from this poster. The first one was started on Oct 20, 2019 and provided essentially the same advice. The poster did not learn anything from the first thread to apply to this one. The loss of the certing fee will be a better lesson than any knowledge we can have posted here. I have no more time to waste here. Moving on....

Here is the thread John is referring to.

John, if I'm not mistaken the digit codes you see in the OP's response are emoji codes that appear to be missing the ampersand symbol. I think it's the tears of joy emoticon if that helps put the context of their answers in perspective. Or his emoji codes might not be supported here, MAC user?

The forum only supports Snitz (built-in) emojis; those entered from operating systems (whether it is Windows, MAC, or Linux) will result in the codes being displayed.

It does not take an expert to ID this stamp. You have a 632: one of the cheapest stamps there is. In mint condition, it's still just used for postage. You spent $30+ for someone to tell you that your stamp is worth nothing. They printed billions of these. Congratulations on owning one. Buy or print a perforation gauge, or just listen to the people here. It's much cheaper than sending [not even] penny stamps out for certification.

Maybe, but the uneven perfs. And the color is more like a Scott 581, 578, 601, but it's neither one. I have 632 stamps I have a few of them. And these are different.

"Uneven" 11x10.5 perfs = 632. Nothing else is relevant. Do you know how to use a perf gauge? Go ahead and measure them and tell us what they are. Do you know how a 596 is perforated? It is 11x11. You can read all about it in the links folks have shared with you.

I forgot. The Philatelic Foundation has your stamp (or stamps?). . .when you get it (them?) back with a cert as a 632, measure the perforations to verify their opinion. I suggest writing "11x10.5" with a marker on this certified stamp and then you can use it to be absolutely sure a stamp has those perforations. You can also clip off the corners and have a nice 4th-bureau rotary press reference.

I don't have the stamp now. But I will post the final result as soon as I get it. Good or bad.


I trust them to follow through on their word. Let's give them a month to get the answer, and post it for all to see.

I recommend that we all stop replying until we see the final result.

I found the picture of the back of the stamps. So I compared them with the back of my 632 stamps.
