Simply adore your self-made album. It’s a hybrid of Stanley Gibbons and Minkus…very unique. Very convenient to have stamps with a catalog guide on the same page. Well done. A great system
Another fantastic episode Ken. I increasingly find myself interested in definitive series thanks to your work. I will have to pull out my US collection and take a look.
Hey Ken. This episode blew my mind. So much I don't know and I love it. Also the unusual denominated stamps, that they are unusually designed, as in that they are not persons I did not notice before. Then these precancels that I labelled as used but uncancelled stamps....boy was I wrong :-) US stamps is generally not that hard to come by here, but the transportation series with the unusual denominations I have not come across before. Might be me, or they are a bit more rare overe here. Thanks for a wonderful video. You teach me so much!
I learn a little from each episode too. I'm so glad to share and have a reason to learn more. Those transportation stamps were very common for a while, but they've moved to an old, but not old enough state that's making them rarer for a while.
Happy Holidays to you and yours. I have seen other fractionals, too. I love those German states ones with 1/4 stamps connected to make a regular sized stamp.
Oh my gosh! Are you a jeweler/ metalsmith? I have the same tools, minus the buffer I wish I had. Very interested in what you do. I've got a BA in fine arts. Wanted to get my masters in jewelry making, but (long story) ended up spending years making chainmail by hand. Haven't done anything in a while, but seeing u use that jeweler's saw made me miss it and I really need to get back into jewelry making. I could make stamp-themed earrings/ key chains...hmmmmm.🤔 I always wondered about the odd fractional US postage. Thanks so much for the wonderful explanation:) Carreta carts were pulled by oxen to deliver supplies.
Chain mail. I am subscribed to this channel, Shadiversity, so I love anything medieval and also how it is crafted. There was also this video where they tested how putting on chainmail must have worked back in those times.
Amateur for sure. I do love that buffer. I make a little jewelry, rings and pendants mostly. A lovely hobby. Thanks for the info on Carreta carts! Make some jewelry!
You could also just us a half cent coin. Although the US mint stopped making those in 1857. Plenty still around though and still legal tender. Although you'll probably get much more that $0.005 if you sell it to a collector (or even a copper recycler)

I find it so useful when I need to add something to a page.

They are sometimes seen as the black sheep of collecting, but I like them. Enjoy!
Thanks Ken :)
Great episode! I always liked the non profit and bulk stamps, was nice to hear your taking on them
I still save all of them that come to me, thinking that some odd variety is going to sneak through.

Fantastic Ken, as usual, thanks for such a nice review!!
Thank you. This was a fun little video.
Great collection. There are other countries too that have fraction values Britain, Canada .Happy holidays to you and family.

Haha. I wonder what someone would do if you handed them a 1/2 cent coin (or two).
