These were some of the first stamps I received when I started to collect stamps way back in the late 1950,s.I now have hundreds of this series,with different types of paper and numerous shades.It is sometimes hard to tell if they are from the later set issued in 1958 and 1959 but usually the postmark date can be a guide.
