The resize option of the stamp scans done automatically by this site disappeared in my computer. maybe because I am using now new wider computer screen. I don't now if it only in my computer or a general change. Any way, I will resize the scans before I posting them although it will decrease resolution.

A set of three over-size stamps (80mmx60mm) shows sites of Budapest, designed and engraved by Mihaly Füle, was issued by Hungary on December 16, 1993. It is very rare to see over size engraved stamp, and these Hungarian stamps are little smaller (minus 1 mm ) than the largest engraved stamp in the world, Slania's 1000's stamp issued in 2000 by Sweden, measures 81mmx61mm. So, these stamps deserve silver medal!!!
