Hi all Not sure this is right! The pmk on the supposed 1848-1850 has me concerned. 351 just looks modern! Second stamp 1853 -1860 looks ok Would appreciate help here.  |

Thx
As I understand it - (could be wrong) the repub was replaced with empire in 1853
Did you note the first stamp "repup"! |

Er, yes, I did. The empire returned to a republic in the 1870s, following defeat in the Franco-Prussian war. |

Other thing to note is that an imperforate 20c blue Ceres can be either from the 1850's or '70's, but a perforated one can only be from the 70's |

Hi vayolene,
Is there a publication dealing with the rarity of French numeral cancellations? |

No one mentioned the difference in the postmark/ cancel
That surprised me.
Maybe no relevance but tho it I would ask? |

Which particular difference? The Napoleon has what's known as a "petit chiffre", the Ceres a later "grand chiffre". The numbers identify the towns etc where they were cancelled. |

I was referring to the rest of the postmark. The border difference between 1st and second stamps
The first stamp has a unique /distinctive different border" compared to all my other stamps of the same period
They just appear so different
Maybe I'm wrong

@Pshann. Did you mean the comb-like border of the cancellation the red arrows point at?  |

They aren't from the same period. The petit chiffre preceded the grand chiffre. Each has its own surround for the identifying number. |
