In need of some expert advice these four Cape of Good Hope triangles recently added to my collection were sold based on SG numbers however on careful study appear to be very different.Realize without seeing the stamps a educated guess as to SG numbers would help,Rich

re: Cape of Good Hope

Those are really nice COGH triangles! But to help ID them, you would have to post higher resolution scans, 600dpi say, and images of both sides of each.

re: Cape of Good Hope


They look like SG5, 6, 7, and 8a from what I can see. But the posted images are not really good enough resolution to be certain. I can see the water mark on three of them and none of them look like blued paper.

What did you buy them as and what do you think they are?

" image tried higher resolution but was rejected."



Scan at a high resolution (600dpi should do it), crop them and post them as individual pictures.

re: Cape of Good Hope

After careful review of these great stamps I see that the scans posted do not reflect the true colours ,enlarging I am sure will not help
