What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Another find in the massive collection I am sorting through. It made me smile and pretty easy to see that something is not right here.

That 12ç QV cinderella is nice but it should be on the back - The 32ç is a 1984 stamp, issued also by France

hdm1950 Yes - was wondering about the rate also and why the 12p passed that way - If Canada Post was as fast (actually they are on the slow pace in deliveries - homes) with its employees - Nothing comes in and have a bunch of mailings to come in incl. my replacement CC which stopped working a week ago - might arrive tomorrow, Friday - not happy and will do my complaints René

You both mis read the text and describe the Victoria as “12c “.
It is however in old colonial currency “12 Pence”
