Israel Stamp Questions

Hi!

New here. I've just found these 5 stamps at my father's house. If I am correct, they are 1948 Postage Due, mint and tabbed (all are unused). Is this correct? If so, how can I determine a value on these?

Thanks!

Welcome! You can do one of several things. One would be to check with ebay and see what they sold for in the past.
Another way would be to go to www.stampworld.com and see what they are listing for.

Thanks Peter, I will. But can you confirm what I think is the proper description? Would these be considered "tab"? I know they are mint and unused.

Thanks!

Yours are corner copies,

For Israel: tabs look like this:

wlmar, the tab on an Israel stamp is on the bottom (there are a handful of exceptions). The tab usually contains descriptive information but for the issue you show the tab would be blank.

These stamps were printed in sheets of 100 (10x10) and only the bottom row of 10 would have the tab. So at best only 10% of the issue could have a tab. But in the early days of collecting Israel most people tore off the tab so it would fit in the space in their pre-printed album. The postage due set with tab is one of the handful of Israel issues worth big money.

Fantastic find..... I recently bought a set of these . For a expertised NH set , I paid $ 1,800 for them in October .

Thanks moonwalker925! I'm new at this, so can you explain what you mean by "expertise NH set"?

Thanks!

My stamps came with a signed certified and numbered certificate from a known expert on opinions as to if a stamp is really what it's claimed ...... original gum, no repairs, alterations, forgeries etc.

Tab example:

Noticed that too ....... tabs tho not inscribed are below... the picture,as shown are margins Is that right

The pic that I posted shows stamp with tab. An inscription is not always present depending upon the stamp issue.
