    Many are often under the impression they have one of the scarce coil/booklet varieties when, in fact, they have one of the common printings of this issue.

    This was printed in the millions and it is not a rare stamp. If you think you have one of the highly catalogued scarce varieties you would need to get it expertised. You would need to be fairly sure you had a scarce variety though as to get a certificate can be expensive. To submit the stamp and be told it is one of the very common varieties would leave you with a certificate that would have cost you a small fortune in relation to the value of the stamp!

    Thanks for the answers, these things I already knew even by myself, I imagined a little more practical help in a forum of philatelic experts.
    Bye

    This is not a forum of philatelic experts!!!

    And even if it was - how on earth do you expect someone to give an opinion on a very common stamp with at least thirty different variations when the item was not available for proper examination?

    You need to read post 2 again carefully..
