Stamp Parts
You can find out where a stamp is from, how much it cost,
why it was issued, and much more just by looking at it carefully.
All stamps are made up of the same basic parts:
- The subject
- The perforations
- The denomination
- The postmark
- The year the stamp was issued
- The description of why the stamp was issued
- The country that issued the stamp
