Some explanations for my foreign friends

Most of these stamps were primarliy produced in rolls (coils) for use in the post offices. This production method is the reason for the often times poor perforation left and right on many issues. Every fifth stamp is numbered within the roll.

.

There are two types of numbers (not on all stamps):  

My MICHEL catalogue has an extra value for stamps with number at the back. But you never can buy just one stamp with nuber but only stripes with 5 stamps. I separate from this stripes 2 stamps for exchange so I have in my mint collection sets with 3 stamps as shown in the picture. There is too a higher catalogue value for stright pairs out of sheets which were only produced for collectors.

Here a hint for separating used roll stamps with number: First of all look from the back of the envelope against the stamp and a light. If it seems you that you see a number do not separate this stamps in water bath because the number will be after process at the paper and not at the stamp. Put the water with a brush from the back to the envelope, wait about 10 minutes and then try to separate the stamp. The stamp should not be wet - only the envelope!

The letters which you can see in the column "Typ" in the table informs about perforation.

"A" is a normal stamp 4 sides perforated

"C" is a stamp from a booklet NOT perforated at the upper side

"D" is a stamp from a booklet NOT perforated at the lower side

Be careful if you exchange this stamps by catalogue value: Some profiteer cut the teeth!

Some specialists collect too se-tenant printings of this booklet pages, for example 10/50/80 C or 80/100 D and so on.

Usually all this stamps are printed in letterpress system (typography or surface-printing). But some of them are printed too in offset letterpress printing marked in the type-column with "II". You will not see the difference without magnific glasses. Here a high resolution scan:

Left side offset, right side the normal stamps.
