Postage Stamp - Protection of animals - African Manatee (Trichechus manatus senegalensis) - Republic of Niger 1962 - Michel Niger 21 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Yesterday, when I was thinking of a postage stamp for today's publication, I had several options, one of them is a postage stamp issued in 1962 in the Republic of Niger, which depicts an African manatee.

This postage stamp is dedicated to the protection of animals, and, manatees are probably the most in need of protection, after all, they are defenseless and slow creatures on which, very easy to hunt, they are easy prey for predators and humans.

But, then, I was not sure about the choice of a postage stamp for publication.

This morning, all my doubts were dispelled when I opened the Altilly.com website page.

What I read in the resume, which talks about the consequences of the exchange hacking, reminded me of this defenseless animal.

As the summary says, going to court is hopeless, they promise to return the funds in six months, but not a fact.

Everything is covered in fog.

All coin holders can feel like defenseless manatees, who need to be protected, but no one will put protection over them.

Fortunately, those small assets that I held on this exchange, two days before the hack, I transferred to another trading platform, in Altilly, only dust remained.

Sadly, I understand what great hopes people have pinned on their assets and, even if they are returned within six months, the expected profit will be lost forever.

I suggest taking a look at this postage stamp, which is safely stored in my collection..

Clean postage stamp:

Important!

1. Please note that the cost of shipping postage stamps to other countries can be many times more expensive than the postage stamp itself, approximately $ 5.5.

2. I see that it is not profitable to purchase one postage stamp if, suddenly, you need to replenish your collection. It is always more profitable to purchase the entire series, and, surplus, to change, or sell.

3. If you decide to buy a postage stamp online, be careful. sometimes sellers use stock images. But this option is unacceptable. You need to see exactly the product that you are buying.

4. If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.

5. To get started with this hobby, buy a good magnifying glass, tweezers with flat and thin edges and a stockbook for postage stamps, they will come in handy.

6. When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.

7. There is such an expression - How many people, so many opinions, this also applies to sellers of postage stamps. Each of them believes that his postage stamp is in perfect condition, but only you yourself can find the perfect postage stamp for yourself.

8. Sometimes, a small, white scrap of paper with a round stamp on it and a number inscribed in the center circle can be a very valuable postage stamp from the days when postage stamps were not printed.

9. The cost of a postage stamp is determined by supply and demand, but usually in catalogs you can see the estimated cost of a postage stamp in Pounds Sterling.

10. In terms of quality, postage stamps can be divided into three groups: used postage stamps that were pasted on and removed from the envelope, canceled postage stamps that were canceled at the post office, by order and sent for sale, and clean, uncanceled postage stamps. As you can imagine, these three types of postage stamps, their conditions, greatly affect their value.

To be continued.
