DESCRIPTIONS |
|
|
Catalogue numbers (#) and Catalogue values (C.v.) are taken from 2008 Scott Catalogue. In the cases when stamps or souvenir sheets are unlisted in Scott Catalogue we are using Michel Catalogue (Mi), which has prices expressed in Euro, approximate exchange rate is €1=$1.48. |
|
| If Scott Catalogue does not have prices for NH stamps then latest editions of Ceres, Facit, Karamitsos, Michel, Sakura, Sassone, Stanley Gibbons (SG), Yang, Yvert (Yv), etc. are used. | |
| Lots in the section Great Britain and British Commonwealth have been catalogued accordingly to the Stanley Gibbons. C.v. are expressed in Pound Sterling (£), approximate exchange rate is 1£=$1.97. | |
