In honor of
Flag Day
, we recommend avery scare stamp from
Norway
,
Scotts
B24
,which depicts the flag of
Norway and a Norwegian Soldier
issued in very
small
quantityin 1941, this is one of the key stamps for
flag topical
collectors.
Fly
this stamp proudly,especially if its
Never Hinged
!! See you atthe Club!!!!
BEGINNERS CORNER
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mistakes
: which are called
errors,
made during the printing process are very popular with stamp collectors. Many stamps
with missing or wrong colors or inverted centersor incorrectly perforated or on the wrong paper, are often of
great
value
, so keepcoming to the club if you want to learn more about errors!!!!!
