Philatelic Word Of The Day
| Cleaned | Soiled or stained stamps are sometimes cleaned with chemicals to improve the appearance of the stamp. Sometimes a cancellation is removed by cleaning, making a used stamp appear unused. Unless it is done to preserve the stamp, both practices are unethical, and are easily detected by experienced collectors. Cleaning usually lowers the value of the stamp. |
