#3 is an East German Definitive, from the 70s I believe. Are you trying to get Scott Catalog numbers, or just country of origin? |

Hello
Nš3 (DDR - East Germany) is a "Dienstmarke" stamp.
Dienstmarke = Service = Official
These stamps were printed in typo and photogravure
Best regards |

The Egypt UAR (United Arab Republic) 1959, Coat of Arms, looks like Scott #462 from looking at eBay. Can't see a mint price there right now though.
Someone on Bidstart.com is selling one for 30 cents MNH (mint never/ not hinged).
The France Coat of Arms (sometimes people just say 'arms' when selling on ebay or Bidstart, for help searching for it) France 1958, Scott #902, selling used on Bidstart for 20 cents.
Hint, when searching on auction sites like the above or Delcampe.net (another big one) do not say '#902' but just '902'.
The China (I do not have a Scott catalogue, well , at the library there is one) look like to me, from collecting worldwide years ago, to be minimal value stamps, very common, not worth too much at all in the scheme of things, if that was your concern.
Probably these type of stamps, similar to the France stamp, would be sold on auctions as sets of these, so searching for them might not yield a result just using Scott number or whatever catalogue number you are using, but general descriptions of the design on the stamp, like 'arms' or 'building' (start with the singular and then try the plural).
Maybe to you they have value because someone left them for you or they came from someone special or something of the sort. But a lot of older stamps were printed in the millions and there are sometimes a lot of them out there. You can still sell them of course, if that is your aim or one of your aims, or perhaps trade with others.
Sometimes it is just good to be able to complete sets or certain years. Makes a collector feel good. Sometimes the collectors look for varieties and small differences and special cancellations (postmarks) or many different things.
I do talk a lot at times, please excuse me. |

Bidstart = http://www.bidstart.com/In the USA so most sellers use Scott catalogue and numbers. Good for searching for and selling single stamps as there are low seller fees compared to eBay. Delcampe = http://www.delcampe.net/In Belgium so worldwide , low fees, lots of single stamps listed but many different catalogues and numbers used so searching by number is sometimes difficult. use descriptions or sit and look through pages and pages of stamps. Good categories, although not all sellers use the categories properly, sigh. Wensy = http://www.wensy.com/In the US or Canada so uses Scott numbers mostly. Free to list and sell. I personally find it a bit hard to search on this one but I am used to ebay's ease of searching, because I learned ebay. That's just me. Stamps2Go = http://www.stamps2go.com/default.aspxSearch by Scott or description. And of course there are many sites that list stamps, you just need some info to know what you have is the hard part. The more you work with certain areas or countries you learn what they have on their stamps and what to look for and how to recognize them. Write tthings down to help you later. Google (if you have that) search and Google Image search are great tools also. |

Yugoslavia / Jugoslacia (same country) 1963 flower the 25 is listed on Bidstart as Scott #690 so this 30 is probably 691 (a guess) Minimal value = 20 cents at best mint or used or CTO.
Czechslovakia 1968 (Olympics in Mexico ) is Scott (Sc) #1533 selling for 20c to 30c on Bidstart, although yours is actually postally used (unreadable cancel though) so may be worth buying to somemone, as most of these are mint or CTO.
By the way, on Bidstart and other sites you may see the abbreviation SG which is another catalogue called Stanley Gibbons from Great Britain. Scott is SC.
