A FEW STAMPS TO SHARE FROM A NOVICE

[Coinstar magnet]

These are a few stamps I collected simply because of the imagery and the time period they came from. I don't think they are particularly rare but wondered if there is any interesting history behind them and wanted to share them. A couple are out of focus but thanks for viewing.

I collected stamps when I was a youngster but it seems that there is a loss of interest in it these days. I bet the ones I had may have been worth some money now but I tossed it all away when I found girls at 15...lol I like the one in the top right.

Was all the girls worth the lost of stamps? I think not.

Thanks Honest Samuel, I also collected for awhile through boyscout magazines or some publication ....and remember really enjoying the stamps from other countries....not sure where they ended up but probably would be worth a little more now....not quite as much as the 1st edition Superman comic of my father in law's that his mother threw away though.

The (mint condition) black Nova Scotia Queen Victoria stamp may be your most valuable

but the most history is in the stamp featured in the 1840-1940 commemorative; as described here: https://www.allaboutstamps.co.uk/st...h-stamps-10-facts-about-the-1840-penny-black/

Don, thank you for the resources and your input on a couple of the stamps. I need to brush up on stamp terminology
