International Postage Meter Stamp Catalog/Jersey
Jersey[edit]
- A dependency of Great Britain, Jersey’s own meter stamps did not appear until 1969. Before that date British stamps with “JERSEY/ CHANNEL ISLANDS” (or “CI”) in the town mark were used.
- All stamps contain “JERSEY” in the frank.
- The stamps are grouped according to appearance:
- A - “JERSEY” below value figures
- B - “JERSEY” above value figures
- PO - Special stamp generated only in Post Offices
NOTE: Catalog values are not given for the meter stamps of Jersey because no market appears to exist for them. Collectors should be aware that examples in Sterling currency (£sd) are much scarcer than decimal stamps.
