Postage Stamp - Siberian Flora - Crawling Carnation (Dianthus repens) - USSR 1977 - Michel 4593 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
In my collection of postage stamps there are many duplicates, canceled and uncanceled, identical postage stamps.
I thought that soon, it will be possible to start updating my collection and get rid of these duplicates.
But, I do not want to sell postage stamps for the hryvnia and decided to go another way.
I decided to do an experiment and test how people react to offers in crypto coins.
I found two ads in our city. People sell their collections, but they ask for unrealistic money for them.
To one, I offered 5,000 Jahm coins, to the other, 20,000 coins.
I wondered if they would start bargaining, but unfortunately they ran away from Jahm like fire lol.
Today, I sold several thousand Jahm coins, at the lowest rate, while earning about 15,000 percent, compared to the purchase price, I know for sure, postage stamps are not capable of this.
But, nevertheless, I am sure that soon I will be buying and selling postage stamps with crypto coins.
As you might guess, I will sell postage stamps for the #LEO coin and buy for the #Jahm coin.
It's simple, I have a lot of #Jahm, or rather, on the day of my son's baptism, I made him a mega-whale of #Jahm coins, 1,500,000 coins in the power of voice.
I think, gradually, I will be able to buy a lot of postage stamps.
Over the past couple of months, only #LEO and #Jahm have shown miracles of their growth and stability.
I believe in 0.2 Hive #Jahm, and it could be yours if you have any extra postage stamps when I start bulk buying.
Today I want to present two postage stamps of the same type from series Siberian Flora, issued in the USSR in 1977, Crawling Carnation (Dianthus repens) is depicted on them.
I always thought that Crawling Carnation (Dianthus repens) is a heat-loving plant, but, as it turned out, this plant can be seen in Siberia.

Important!
Please note that the cost of shipping postage stamps to other countries can be many times more expensive than the postage stamp itself, approximately $ 5.5.
I see that it is not profitable to purchase one postage stamp if, suddenly, you need to replenish your collection. It is always more profitable to purchase the entire series, and, surplus, to change, or sell.
If you decide to buy a postage stamp online, be careful. sometimes sellers use stock images. But this option is unacceptable. You need to see exactly the product that you are buying.
If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.
To get started with this hobby, buy a good magnifying glass, tweezers with flat and thin edges and a stockbook for postage stamps, they will come in handy.
When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.
There is such an expression - How many people, so many opinions, this also applies to sellers of postage stamps. Each of them believes that his postage stamp is in perfect condition, but only you yourself can find the perfect postage stamp for yourself.
Sometimes, a small, white scrap of paper with a round stamp on it and a number inscribed in the center circle can be a very valuable postage stamp from the days when postage stamps were not printed.
The cost of a postage stamp is determined by supply and demand, but usually in catalogs you can see the estimated cost of a postage stamp in Pounds Sterling.
In terms of quality, postage stamps can be divided into three groups: used postage stamps that were pasted on and removed from the envelope, canceled postage stamps that were canceled at the post office, by order and sent for sale, and clean, uncanceled postage stamps. As you can imagine, these three types of postage stamps, their conditions, greatly affect their value.
To be continued.
