Helv as #2161049 and #9553441 there shouldn't be duplicates, how would you #2161049 then complete it further? Or are you making a basic stamp out of this? If an importer doesn't do that immediately, it's just guesswork afterwards.

For several days, LastDodo has been inaccessible in the Mozilla Firefox web browser. It gets stuck on a page reporting "We're establishing a secure connection". It is constantly sending Request IDs, but none seem to be accepted.
I have already deleted all cookies, so that is not it.
I have changed the link to LastDodo to www.lastdodo.nl, so it is not a link to the Dutch version of the catalog either.
I have already replaced https with http (which is not recommended), but that doesn't work either.
At the moment I am using Vivaldi, and that actually works.
So it is something with Firefox 150.0.1, but what exactly...

Asian people will certainly search in their own language and therefore also end up on LastDodo.

Wishful thinking. And they probably don't have any apps either that allow them to convert their own language into (a transcription of) Latin script ;-)
I think we need to stick to reality and not start making up stories. That happens enough outside of LD already.

Incidentally, local variants of letters in the Latin script (e.g. in Spanish, Czech, etc.) have been rendered as accurately as possible for many years.

I am in possession of a block from "Isle of Pabay".

With thanks

lastdodo.com is indeed the domain for the English version of Lastdodo.
I'll send you a PM (via Lastdodo) to see exactly what's going wrong Yaci.

There is a problem with your email address. Click here to follow our step-by-step plan to resolve this.
This is at the top of my LD page but.....
There are no messages from LD in my spam at all. The messages from LD also come
just in my mailbox, while it is written that no more messages are being
sent by LD.
How is this possible?

Kind regards, Yaci

Pilot Bob appeared in Spirou 1941–1943. Drawn by Frank Robbins. Anyone searching for Pilot Bob in the catalogue will see Johnny Hazard listed in parentheses after it. But that cannot be right, because that strip started on June 5, 1944, in American newspapers. From 1939–1944, Frank Robbins Scorchy Smith also drew a pilot strip. That must be the correct name. Bdoubliees identifies this strip as well. Please correct.

Asian people will certainly search in their own language and therefore end up on LastDodo. Just like Poles, Spaniards, Russians, Finns, etc., who find us through search queries, and as a result, the shops also have many foreign customers.

https://nl.ucoin.net/coin/belgium-1-franc-1918/?cid=37002
Is an image 1 franc 1918
Personally, I find the edge weird.
It is possible that silver 1 franc coins were actually minted in Birmingham in 1918, but if you search for them, the mintage is not listed on Numista.
If I search further with AI, the answer varies from well over 1 million to very limited spending to unknown.
I still have my doubts, but actually that is not what it is about.
The point was the input
This has now been done by downloading the photo and then adding the coin to the catalog, resulting in an inferior image now being displayed.

Good day,

I found this Germania stamp; now there is a red bar running across it. I can't find any info about this on the net, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

Is this a printing error or is it part of the postmark?

Kind regards Franzes

AI overview

During the First World War (1914-1918), Belgian coinage was complex due to the German occupation of the greater part of the country. Coins were issued by the occupying forces (zinc), coins minted on behalf of the government in exile (silver/bronze), and emergency money by municipalities.

Major coins in circulation/issued 1914-1918:
  • German occupation coins (Zinc): From 1915, the Germans confiscated copper and silver and replaced them with zinc coins, which were prone to rust and are known as "war coins".
    • 5 centimes (1915-1918)
    • 10 centimes (1915-1918)
    • 25 centimes (1916-1918)
    • 50 centimes (1918)
  • Belgian coins (Minted in Birmingham): In 1914, the Belgian government in exile in Le Havre commissioned the Birmingham Mint to mint coins to finance the resistance.
    • 1 Franc (1914): Struck in silver, with both French ("Albert King of the Belgians") and Flemish ("Albert King of the Belgians") inscriptions. Note: These were also struck in 1917 and 1918 with the year stamp 1914.
  • Last gold coins (1914): At the beginning of the war, 20-franc coins were still minted with the portrait of King Albert I.
  • Emergency money (Notgeld): To address the shortage of change, many municipalities (such as Ghent) issued their own "emergency coins," often made of cardboard or cheap metal.
Other noteworthy numismatic aspects:
  • Post-war: Immediately after the war (1919-1920), the first 1-franc nickel coins were minted with the inscription "goed voor" (bon pour).

Agreed.

As a category, I would suggest "Definitely not a stamp!" or "Anything but a stamp" or "Stamp, nothing more" or "Rag-and-grab item".

There is, however, a silver 1 Franc from 1918 from Belgium.
According to AI, these were minted in Birmingham, England.
Here you can find another photo of such a coin:
https://nl.ucoin.net/coin/belgium-1-franc-1918/?cid=37002
The coin is also listed on Numista.

Based on this argument, you can start restoring all the Cinderellas – just look at Ecuador, for example.
Excellent proposal.
In other areas, these Cinderellas are never split (for example, I don't see Netherlands - Cinderella).

Rene Whether one can rule out 'original staples' with 100% certainty is perhaps debatable. If rust spots are visible alongside 'stainless' staples, then one can determine with certainty that the staples have been replaced. Such matters are documented using photos for comparison purposes. By now, CGC has handled enough Dutch comics to compile such an archive.

Yes, because it looks like a postage stamp and it very clearly says Spain on it. So that is the place where people who have that stamp go looking.

Is there still a policy behind sending fantasy stickers back to Spain?
Yes, because it looks like a postage stamp and it very clearly says Spain on it. So that is the place where people who have that stamp go looking.

These are fantasy stickers. They have absolutely nothing to do with real stamps.
I had already changed the usage type to "No postage value".
Under particulars, you have already written yourself that it concerns "Fantasy stamps".

Personally, I would prefer to introduce a new Class for these types of items, such as "Bogus", "Imitiation", "Fantasy", or similar. Unfortunately, there is no consensus on this to date, because it also affects items that are not currently listed in the Stamp Catalogue.

I also removed the Mi number from #6990175 . That number has expired.
