The 2014 Quadrants

Through 2013 there were hints that a new set of Laernu Quadrants were in the offing. Fantasy Stamps on Facebook provided a teasers, while collectors got the odd new stamp on their post. Eventually it became apparent that there would be 5 new stamps and these would be high values, with denominations in Dorises rather than Filises. Consequently the stamps are nearly 50% larger each side. Some of these used examples were perfinned 0613. Collectors should be aware that any subsequent releases of these stamps may well be from a new printing, and may have shade, design, and other differences to the stamps that appeared during 2013. So do not discard those originals!

However the first new design seems destined to be a 1F value, showing dragonflies, in the original size. Some sheets had a line of perforations missing so a number of part imperf stamps appeared on mail.

What to look for:

  • The advance stamps
  • Variants - none recognised so far
  • perfinned examples
  • part perfed stamps
