QUESTION: Dear sir,
I want to know that how much is the stamp in the right corner of first line which you told is of bulgaria? Also there is written "SAHARA OCCIDENTAL" in the stamps that you didn't identified so I want to know from which country is the stamp from?
THANKS.
Answer
I need a better scan (jpg format at 150 dpi) of the Sahara Occidental stamp to identify it.
The Bulgaria is listed in the Scott Postage Stamp Catalog as number Q28. The catalog value is 20c.
This is the minimum amount assigned to any stamp.
