ring a good price. For 1c. and 2c.
only there is little demand. Dealers' addresses are not given in
this column.

HELEN MACKAY.--The used 3d. Canada unperforated is quoted in
catalogues at 20c. on wove paper, $1 on laid paper, $1.50 on
ribbed paper.

L. M. I.--The current blue special-delivery is printed from the
same dies as the previous blue, but the lines have been deepened
and two cross lines added under the words TEN and CENTS.

WILLIE K.--No premium on the coins. The stamp is the 3c. blue 1869
U. S.

G. TARLETON.--U. S. fractional currency has no value beyond face
unless it is absolutely uncirculated. There ought to be a demand
for these interesting war relics, but practically there is none.
Dealers sell them at a small advance over face.

D. R. O'SULLIVAN.--There is no premium on the coins mentioned.
Rare coins if worn by use have very little value. High prices are
paid for rare coins if in "mint state," that is the condition when
the coins are new and uncirculated.

A. E. BARRON, Tarrytown, N. Y., wants to correspond and trade with
stamp-collectors. He has the beginning of a good collection.

H. B. THAW.--The Bloods Penny Post is catalogued at 50c. There are
three varieties of the Bloods Despatch worth from 15c. to $4 each.
The Adams Express is not a stamp. It is probably a trade-mark.

R. CRAIG.--State Revenues, as a rule, are collected only in the
State using them. General collectors do not buy them, and
consequently they are not catalogued.

A. LOWKOWSKY.--The letter-sheets will no longer be made. There are
eight main varieties--series 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and the first
issue without series number. They are not classed as stamps, but
as envelopes, and envelopes are not collected as generally as
adhesive stamps. I believe you can buy the $3, $4, and $5
Columbian stamps at face from the Washington, D.C., Post-office.

R. G. HUGHES.--It is a Colombian revenue stamp. These stamps are
not generally collected except in Colombia, and hence no value can
be given. Your sketch is admirably well done.

R. MOODY.--The stamp is the 3c. 1869 U. S., and is sold by dealers
at 2c. The coin has no premium.

LEWIS E. B.--If the coins are in mint condition the dealers will
probably buy at a premium. If not uncirculated they
