Encyclopedia of US Stamps and Stamp Collecting by Rodney A Juell

The Encyclopedia of United States Stamps and Stamp Collecting introduces the reader to the full scope of United States stamps and stamp collecting. Beginning with an introduction to "stampless covers" (letters mailed before the introduction of postage stamps), it then introduces the many stamps issued from their inception with the 1845 Postmasters' Provisionals through the stamps of the early 21st century. Other chapters deal with the host of stamps known to collectors as "back-of-the-book" issues, including stamps issued for air mail, special delivery, U.S. possessions, revenue purposes, and postal stationery. The history of the Postal Service and the various stamp printers, including the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is explored.

A section of the Encyclopedia highlights the technological innovations of stamp production, the history of the movement of the mails, markings applied to envelopes, and meters and machine generated postage. While a book about U.S. stamps and stamp collecting, in a larger sense it is a history of American politics, culture, values and technology seen through the prism of the nation's postage stamps and postal service. Each of the sixty-two chapters employs a similar format, wherein an introductory article is followed by practical tips on collecting; an almanac of chronological dates to orient the reader within each historical era; a selection of quotes, both contemporaneous and modern, to provide context; examples of postal usage; and a compilation of references to which the reader can turn for more information. While the Encyclopedia will be welcomed by many advanced stamp collectors, it was written with the beginning collector in mind. It assumes no prior experience with collecting, and includes a comprehensive glossary of philatelic terms. The full color, hard-bound, 730 page book is generously illustrated with stamps, covers and related material.

Stamp Coin Collecting by Neo Jamies

Coins hold a wealth of information on their small faces, from the year of their birth to the language spoken at the time, from the metals a country holds valuable to the cultural influences and historical figures that its people hold valuable.

The history of gold coins dates as far back as 2,700 years ago. The first gold coins in the world were issued in Lydia around 640 B.C. certain internet websites will provide you with a lot of information about the history of gold coins.

The value of gold coins is usually higher than the value of their weight in gold bullion, making them a better investment than the gold market alone. Because not many people know what distinguishes precious rare coins from run-of-the-mill legal tender, these coins can remain in circulation for decades, until a lucky coin collector recognizes them.

Avoid touching the coin unnecessarily, as dirt and grease from your fingers will tarnish the finish over time. Exposure to air oxidizes metal, changing its colour.

Many collect coins to commemorate great events in their lives, a child's graduation, a new baby¡­or to mark historical events such as the Queen's Golden Jubilee. There are various reasons to collect coins. Some people collect coins from a specific period of time, some collect coins based on perceived future value, some collect coins based on type of metal, some for historical value.

Commemorative coins are a popular form of collection, as are rare minted coins like those which had an error in their stamping. If a certain set of coins doesn¡¯t interest you, it won¡¯t be any fun at all to become a collector.

Most coin dealers will charge a lower premium on the sale of coins to their best customers. After all, it makes good business sense to get the most profit possible from a person who will do business with you only once.

Stamp Coin Collecting: The Valuable Twins

Humans are known to engage into different kinds of diversion to unleash the boredom that life sometimes provides. There are people who use coin, stamp, or sticker collecting to accomplish this while others are satisfied with other hobbies such as cooking, gardening, crafts, etc. All of these provide a certain kind of satisfaction that they can¡¯t achieve in other activities.

Two of the most popular hobbies in the world today are the stamp and coin collection. The value of these two leisure activities is incomparable to other types of hobbies.

Why?

It is because coin and stamp collecting do not just embody the mere act of accumulating different kinds of coins and stamps but also personify the preservation of a nation¡¯s history. Both stamp and coin collecting highlight the different images that are used to visually record a significant event or era in history.

The two have become indistinguishable as far as value and appeal is concerned. For people who wish to collect coins, stamps, or both, here are some of guidelines that you need to know in order to start.

1. Do some research

Coin collecting for investment purposes can be a tricky endeavor.

The mintmark of the coin can usually be found near the date and on newer coins the mintmarks are as follows: "P" Philadelphia, "D" Denver, "S" San Francisco,"W" West Point New York. Older coins may show the following mintmarks: "C" Charlotte North Carolina, "CC" Carson City Nevada, "D" Dahlonega Georgia, "O" New Orleans.

The Philadelphia mint used no mint mark until 1980, when it started stamping coins with tiny P's. Yet somehow, a small number of dimes minted in 1982 were a throwback to the time before the mint mark, and bear no letter P.

For most gold coin collectors, there are the highly coveted rare gold coins and a lot of gold coin collectors are interested in these rare gold coins that they will offer high bids just to be able to get their hands on these. People hoarded coins as a way of safeguarding their wealth. Those coins that were especially beautiful were hoarded the longest, often being passed down within families.

The Augustus Saint-Gauden Double Eagle is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful coins America has ever produced.

The best way to get good deals, and avoid the bad ones, is to pick up some standard reference catalogues and study the pricing very carefully. As a rule, it's better to own one high quality coin than a bunch of mediocre ones. But as time goes by, the number of these coins go down. Some get lost and some are damaged beyond recognition.

All coin dealers are not created equal, and it is nearly impossible to specialize in every area when it comes to collecting rare coins. Therefore, it's important to know what to look for before you select a professional for your coin collecting needs.

It is not enough that you are interested in stamp and coin collecting in order to start the activity, it is also important to do your homework first so that you will have enough knowledge about this activity.

2. Be wary when buying items

If you cannot obtain stamps and coins for free, and the only way to start your collection is to buy the items, be very meticulous about it. Know the seller¡¯s reputation. Research his history and determine the length of time he has been in the business. The point being that the longer he has been in the business, the more reliable his reputation probably is.

3. Know how to identify the correct item

Do not just buy stamps or coins without learning how to classify and identify them. For coins, it is best that you know how to grade them. For stamps, you should know how to identify any slight disparities in the kind of paper used or other distinguishable features such as watermarks, color, or perforations.

These are just some of the many pointers that every stamp and coin collector must know. With these tips, you can now start your stamp and coin collection without difficulty and with confidence.

The collection of ancient, commemorative, and rare coins is a fun and exacting hobby, and opens up a realm of history that most people never get to see. An avid coin collector will be able to tell you virtually every piece of history that surrounds any coin in their collection both because they tend to specialize and because knowledge is one of the most important factors when it comes to starting and maintaining a collection of any value or worth.

Some people have made a lot of money buying and selling coins, others have lost fortunes. If you are serious about investing in numismatics, first spend a bit of time learning.

A good number of coin collectors collect coins according to themes. The coins they collect all have a common topic. Complete info on how to buy gold coins. And while the rarest and finest of all rare coins have reached stratospheric prices, what does this leave the rest of us? Not much, unless you are willing to do a little work.

American coins have undergone several changes in material. For example, during World War II, pennies were made out of steel, because copper was needed for the war effort.

The internet is home to a lot of gold coin dealers wherein you can meet all sorts of people from all over the world who are into both buying and selling gold coins. You can get a silver locating device or a magnetic pole for finding loose coins in ditches, under cars, or in other hard-to-reach places. Or simply rely on your eyes to identify those gleaming metal circlets of potential wealth.

Today, there has been an explosion in American interest in coin collecting, in large part due to the ease and availability of obtaining interesting coins.

You Can Have Great Fun With Stamp Collecting by Todd Lavergne

Stamp collecting can be a fun activity not only for older people but also for kids. A person can have a pleasurable experience collecting a variety of stamps that he may find in plain binders or get through the mail. Many people find it to be a very interesting hobby. For someone starting out, he might like to compile an assortment of stamps from his album until he sees that he could concentrate on collecting these stamps.

It can definitely be an enjoyable hobby because a person can have fun and learn all kinds of information from collecting stamps. A stamp can show everything that someone can think of from people, locations, events in history, sports, cars, and much more. He may find it satisfying later on for having enough information and albums where he may showcase his collection.

He might find that he can make a profit from these items. Some stamps are very special and may highlight a famous person or event. The premium on these important stamps can be very high but it depends on how rare they are and if there are a small number of releases. They can be like other commodities where a collector may locate a dealer that can give them an estimated price of a particular stamp.

A finer choice for him to profit more from his collection is to find stamp collectors that are interested in some stamps that he might be collecting. He might advertise his collection in magazines and newspapers that have specific advertisements for unique stamps. The internet can be very useful in getting in on auction sales for his stamps. He may also confirm the most recent market price of the stamp by comparing the internet and the latest advertisements.

The asking price can be different according to inventory and production of the item. The amount of collectors that concentrate on those rare stamps is growing and limited edition stamps may provoke him to be more aggressive when trying to locate these items. The high demand relates to an increased price value.

Regardless, they are more than just profiting and earning. A majority of stamp collectors believe it to be an enjoyable hobby. The pleasure he feels from locating the stamps he likes may be incomparable. People collect stamps for many reasons. In addition, one important reason they may give is that it is fun and it is very satisfying to accomplish something.

It encourages a person to learn about different things. Many stamps give insight into a country's history and its landmarks. This is a primary reason why it is very attractive compared to other collections. A person can never get over the excitement of discovering and learning new things. If he wants to go after this hobby of being a stamp collector, here are some things to keep in mind.

1. He should be aware of which items interest him. He might begin looking for collections that can be important or special to him. He may have the choice of deciding from simple stamps that he might get from mail and postcards from binders.

2. He may go to groups and gatherings to collaborate with people. He could interact with people that are collecting things as well. He may question the person that may have some collections associated with these stamps. In this situation, he may be able to swap some of his stamps for a particular stamp.

3. He needs to make sure he uses his time wisely. He may locate places that he might find stamps with the particular theme that he collects.

4. He may find sites on the internet that will give information on how and where to locate those special and rare stamps.

5. He may pursue this hobby for as long as it is enjoyable to him. There are a wide selection of topics and themes to pick from. A collector does not limit to a particular topic.

A stamp collector should constantly think back to the significance of the things that makes him happy and gratified. He should properly take care of his collections. Stamps are very delicate. They are just pieces of paper but they have considerable value and significance.

Amazing Stamp Collecting In America by Todd Lavergne

Stamp research is called Philately. Many Americans become drawn to this large field of research. This attraction with stamps and all of the history concerning them has started a hobby connected to philately, which is stamp collecting.

Normally, stamp collecting starts by acquiring a few stamps and choosing a certain type of stamp that the collector will pay attention to. Stamps can be acquired for the collection either through the postal office, private letters, dealers of stamps, making a trade with fellow collectors of high quality and rare stamps in whatever type that is chosen.

Although, the philatelic hobby might appear to be hard or vague, it really is not. It is not an uncommon idea to study and collect stamps. There are over 100 countries throughout the world that have a group of people called philatelists (people that study stamps).

In the year 1886, numerous philatelists joined together in America and formed the American Philatelic Society(APS). It has been over a century now, the APS gives its members not only a way to get together with other enthusiasts, but also provide many programs and information to help in the pleasure and enrichment of the collecting experience. Over a long time, many people have helped APS by donating, selling different publications, and collecting dues of members. The group of people in APS is large and may not be overlooked. In America, there are over 44,000 philatelists members of APS officially. There are a large number of people getting involved but have yet to discover APS. This great amount of people is validated by the fact that many states have conventions in the area for people excited about Philately. There is another philatelic association in America with many experts and that is the Philatelic Foundation.

There is a large variety of collections that are available. Many have postage stamps which came from different countries (mainly those of age).These include stationery postage, revenue stamps, and first day cover stamps.

However, there is one category that stands out in the USA. These are Federal Duck stamps, which duck hunters need. The purpose of these is to conserve the environment and help the ducks. A popular conservationist by the name of Ding Darling created the first Federal Duck stamp in 1934. After a while it became a tradition and many wildlife artists competed. The winner of the competition had his or her design picked to be on the new Federal Duck stamp for the year. That person gained a good reputation and was held in high regard for winning the competition. The American government works with local state agencies and the Department of Interior to manage the sale of Federal Duck Stamps. The sales of the stamps produces a large enough revenue that new wetlands can be acquired which help to preserve and protect the ducks.

First-day covers (FDCs), which many stamp collectors are finding more interesting, are stamped envelopes that are terminated on the same day the stamps were released. Some of the FDCs that were designed later will bear the motif of a special stamp's issue, also called a cachet. In 1923, George W. Linn a famous philatelist cacheted the first FDC for the Harding Memorial stamp issue. Many people consider cachetmaking an art form today and is accomplished by different means. These ways include lithography, drawing straight on the envelope, using laser printer, and block printing. There are several cachetmaking companies like Colorano, House of Farnam, and Artcraft that make a large amount of the cacheted stamps in America.

Stamp collecting in the U.S. was not always easy to follow. During the 1920s, the U.S. stamp values were much higher. This motivated countless Americans to acquire large quantities of U.S. stamp issues in mint condition and hoping to sell them much later for a profit. Since there was an abundance available in the market, they are priced only a little more than their original face value.

The trend of stamp collecting and philately in America may increase in the coming years. Email and internet use has many critics saying that philately interests will go down. Many people still need stamps and demand is continuing as stamp designs change frequently. The world of philately will continue to be an exciting place.

An Overview of Stamp Collecting by Glenn Cutforth

Most people who become stamp collectors start out just for fun. Generally, those who take up stamp collecting as a hobby won't make a lot of money at it unless they really know their stuff, and are willing to invest in rare and unusual stamps. The first stamp was issued in 1840 and featured a picture of Queen Victoria. It didn't take long for people to become collectors and it remains, to this day, one of the most popular hobbies in the world!

Though stamps seem to some like practical bits of paper made only to transport mail to and fro, the stamp actually has much more meaning. You can trace historical happenings involving famous people and even entire countries. Great artists are celebrated on stamps, as well as people who've made a huge contribution to the world. Some stamps feature pop culture icons, while others trace the lives of animals living and extinct. Stamps also say a lot about the world we live in so it's understandable why so many are intrigued by collecting them.

You can literally get your hands on thousands of stamps for only a few dollars when you're starting out sine dealers sell international blends of stamps for very little. Companies and government offices often sell stamps from incoming mail in bulk at very good prices. This is called kilo ware, if you want to look into it. This is the best way to start. Get whatever you can, for as little money as possible. Spread the word about your stamp collecting hobby! You'll be surprised at what people you know will send you.

You may want to purchase some storage in order to keep your stamps safe and protected, as well as organized. Stamp albums, extra plastic sheets and glassine envelopes are a good place to start. Little stamp tongs will help you handle these delicate treasures, without getting them oily or dirty.

Keep your stored stamps at room temperature and away from heat and sunlight. Go through your amassed collection and start to break them down into desired categories. By country is a good place to start. Do you have a computer? Try keeping a record of them in your document file. Later, you may want to purchase special software to make the job easier.

When you remove stamps from envelopes, start by cutting delicately around the stamp. Don't cut the perforation! Get a shallow glass baking pan and fill it with body temperature water. Not hot or even warm! Place your stamps in and soak for about 15 minutes. You'll want to gently wipe the glue from the backs of the stamps and maybe soak them again for a few minutes in another dish of the same temperature water. You then place them face up on a tea towel or the like until they dry. Once dry, place them between two sheets of white paper, or paper towel inside a heavy book until flattened. Don't use tongs when your stamps are wet to avoid tearing.

If you join a local stamp club, you'll be alerted of any trade shows or auctions coming to your area. Stay connected with other collectors and you'll be more informed. Once you learn more and your confidence increases, you may even want to start your own business! You could host a website or open a small shop, or have a weekend booth at a flea market -- the possibilities are many!

By taking the proper steps, and having fun along the way, you'll learn to love what stamp collecting has to offer, and what you have to offer it!

Stamp Collecting - lets begin here. by Tony Robinson

The first thing to do is to once you have decided to become involved in collecting postage stamps - or Philately - is to select a particular area or topic for your collection.

Years ago when I first started my collection I wanted to get stamps from every country in the world. Nowadays, with so many countries producing so many stamp issues each year, forming a world collection would be a difficult task.

My suggestion if you are just starting out is to focus on the country in which you live for two main reasons. Firstly, you already have knowledge about your own country so this is a great place to start, and secondly, the postage stamps are readily available from your local post office and mail that comes to your home.

Or course, if you have a favourite country, penpals, or if your heart is set on a particular subject, start with that!

A very popular way of collecting is to take a subject or theme of interest and build a collection around it. This is called thematic collecting. For example- you may enjoy sports and decide to make your collection based upon sports and sporting activities.

The possibilities are endless for thematic collectors - animals, butterflies, sailing ships, painters, conservation - just use your imagination and let the stamps take you there.

The other main forms of collecting fall into the following categories:

Worldwide collections: stamps of all countries from 1840 to the present.

Geographic collections: stamps of a single country or a group of countries.

Specialised collections: usually built around the stamps of a single country but sometimes restricted to a small group of stamps or even the exhaustive study of a single issue.

Most beginning stamp collectors want to get lots and lots of stamps. One of the best ways to make a flying start is to buy a large packet of used stamps from a stamp dealer. (We recently bought a packet of 1000 mixed stamps for $12.) You will also find that ebay is a great source for purchasing stamps.

Also available are smaller packets of stamps at your post office.

One of the best (and cheapest) ways to build up your collection is by asking your relatives and friends to save you the stamps from all their letters. When you ask people to save their used stamps for you, it's a good idea to ask them for the whole envelopes. That way the stamps are less likely to be damaged. What I did on several occassions was ask at local businesses who get lots of mail if they would please keep the stamps off envelopes for me for 2 weeks If you are purchasing packets of stamps, starting with the largest possible packet size is a good idea for two reasons. First, it provides a good start with enough variety to make it interesting. Second, it avoids duplication. If you go back later and buy a second packet, particularly if it's a theme-based packet (stamp dealers also sell packets of stamps based on the more common themes such as birds, flowers, etc), you may receive many of the same stamps.

Once you have your basic starting pack you can have fun sorting them into countries and themes and putting your favourites into your album.
