Unfortunately, I can't identify the version exactly. I would be very happy if someone can help me with this and possibly determine the value of the catalogue.

Thank you in advance for any support!

The 6 cent and 9 cent above the 84 cent are German fakes from the late 19th century; there are a lot of those. If you look just under the numerals you will se where they say so. They were originally created to fill empty album spaces of collectors who could not get genuine examples. That was a common practice at the time. However, all the other stamps really must be seen in person to determine the paper type and sometimes the specific colors.

I'm not an expert on Newspaper Stamps, but those all appear to be from the Continental Bank Note Company series of 1875 (Scott PR9 through PR32). Some may also be from the American Bank Note issue of 1879 (Scott PR57 to PR79). Nice items.

You may want to work on cropping and rotating the pictures so that they are upright and only show the stamps.

There could be quite a bit of value in there, if real. I look forward to comments from more knowledgeable members.

Yes, these two do look a bit odd when compared to the others.

They are not engraved, and you can see the falsch below the numerals.

Here are some of the pictures, rotated correctly and cropped.

Thank you for correcting the pictures again. I'll try to upload better pictures of the individual stamps tomorrow!

Individual stamps is a good idea, as long as we can see the entire stamp, and crop away all of the non-stamp area. On some stamps, people here may want to see the back also.
