20130613 - JAMAICA

 

Hello Friends:

 

New family members of the Jamaican Lighthouses are among us. And this is so for almost a year. 

On June 13 of 2013 a second reprint of these stamps was released.  Like the first reprint, the best way (and I believe that it is the only way) to identify this new set of 4 stamps is the year printed at the bottom of the stamp.

Lets take a look at it...

 

$ 20 Negril Point	$ 50 Morant Point
$ 60 Lover´s Leap	$ 200 Galina

And next, the three versions of each stamps, together to compare.  Click over the images to get a better definition.

Thank you very much to Angel Gonzalez  (www.afng.org) for the alert on these new stamps.
