The value listed for any given stamp isa reference that reflects recent actual dealer selling prices for that item. Decier retail price lists, public cucion results, published prices in advertising and individual solicitation of retal prices from dealers, collecors end specially organizations have been used in estab: lishing the values found in this catalogue. Amos Media Co. valuos ‘somps, but Amos Media is not a company engaged in the business: ‘of buying and selling stamps as a dealer. Use this exialogue as a guide for buying «nd selling. The actual price you pay for@ stamp may be higher or lower than the catalogue value because of many diferent factors, including the amount of ‘personal service a dealer offers, or increased or decreased interest in the county or topic represented by a stamp or sot, An item may oscasionally he offered at lower price as "loss leades” of as pat of a special sae. You also may obtain an item inexpensively at public ‘ausion because of ite interest at that ime or as part of «lange lot Stamps that are of a lesser grade than Very Fine, or those with condition problems, generally trade at lower prices than those given in this caiclogue. Stamps of exceptional quality in both grade and condition often command higher prices than those listed. Values fr pre-1900 unused isues cre for stamps wih approximately Ibif or more oftheir original gum. Stamps with mest oral of thir orig ‘al gum may be expected to sell for more, and stampe with less than bait oftheir original gum may be expected o sel for somewhat less than the vals listed. On rarer stamps, it may be expected thatthe orginal gum wil be somewhat more disturbed than it wil be on mere comman ‘eves, Pos. 1900 unused use are assumed to have ful orginal gum. rom breckpoints in most couneslistings, stamps are valued as newer hinged, due tothe wide avoilabilty of stamps in that condition. These ‘notations are prominently planed inthe listings and in the country infor: ‘mation the listings. Some countries clso feature listings with ‘dual values for hinged and never-hinged stamps. Grade A stamp's grade and condition are crucial to its value. The ‘accompanying illustrations show examples of Very Fine stamps from Giferent ime periods, clong with examples of stamps in Fine to Very Fine and Extremely Fine grades as points of reference. When stamp sallor offers a stamp in any grade from fine to superb without further ualifying statements, that stamp should not only have the centering grade os defined, but it also should be free of faulis or other cond on probloms. FINE stomps (ilustrations not shown) have designs that are quite off contr, with tho perforations on ono or two sides very close to fhe design but not quite touching it. There is white space between the perforctions and the design thot is minimal but evident to the unaided eye. Imperforate stamps may have small margins, and ecr- lier issues may show the design just touching one edge of the stamp design. Very early perforated issues normally will have the perior- ‘Sons slightly cutting into the design. Used stamps may have heavier than weal cancellations, FINEYVERY FINE stamps will be somewhat off center on one side, or slightly off center on two sides. Imperforate stamps will have two margins of ot least normal size, and the design wil not touch any edge. For perforated stamps, the perfs are well clear ofthe design, but ave sill noticeably off center. However, early issues of « country ‘may be printed in such a way thatthe design noturally fe very close to the edges. In these cases, the perforations may cut into the design very slightly. Used stamps will not have a cancellation that detracts from the design, ‘VERY FINE stamps willbe just slightly off center on one or two sides, ‘bu the design wil be well clear of the edge. The stamp will present a nice, balanced appearance. Imperforate stamps will be well centered ‘within nomal-sized margins. However, early sues of many countries ‘may be printed in such @ way that tho perforations may touch the design on oneor more sides. Where this isthe ease, hored note will be {ound defining the centering and margins of the stamps being valued. Used stamps will have igh or otherwise nect cancellations. This i the ‘grade used to establish Scott Catalogue values, ‘EXTREMELY FINE stamps are close to being perfectly centered. Imperforate stamps will have even margins that are slighty larger than normal. Even the earliest perforated issues will have perfor tions clear ofthe design on all sides. ‘Amos Media Co, recognizes that there is no formally enforced grading scheme for postage stamps, and that the final price you ay of obtain for q stamp will be determined by individual agree ent atthe time of transaction. Condition Grade addresses only cortering and (lor used stamps) cancella. tion, Condition relers to factors other than grade that affect a stamp's desirability Factors that can increase the value ofa stamp include exceptionally wide margins, partculaly fresh color, the presence of selvage, and plate or die varieties. Unusual cancels on used stamps (parilanly those ofthe 19th century) can greatly enhance their value as wel, Factors other than fauls thet decrease the value of a stamp incude Joss of original gum, regumming, « hinge remnant or foreign abject ‘adhering fo the gum, natural inclusions, suaight edges, and matings ‘or notations applied by collectors or dealers. Faults include missing pieces, tears, pin or other holes, surface souffs, thin spots, erecses, toning, short or pulled perforations, clipped oxidation or other forms of color changelings, soling,ctaing, and such man-made changes as roportorations or the chemical removal or lightening of « eancellation. Grading Illustrations the following two pages ar illustrations of various stamps fom countries appearing in this volume. These stamps are arranged by ‘country, and they represent early or important issues that are offen found in widely diflerent grades in the marketplace. Tho editors believe the ‘lustrations wail-prove useful in showing the margin size «and centering that will be seen on the various issues, In addition to the matters of margin size and centering, collectors are reminded thatthe very fine stamps valued in the Scot catalogues also will possess fresh color and intact perforations, and they wil be free from defects ‘Examples chown are computer-manipulated images made from single digitized master ilutrations.

Original gum will show some disturbance ‘caused by a previous hinge(s) which may be present or entirely removed.

Disturbed Original Gum: Gum showing noticeable olfects of humidity, climate or hinging over more thon half of the gum.
