The World Online Philatelic Agency that sells stamps at FACE VALUE from multiple countries has now reported that the stamps of both Luxembourg and Greenland are available to view and purchase at face value on their secure website www.wopa-stamps.com

Even more interesting and appealing is the fact that Greenland stamps and all of their philatelic products are shipped worldwide at no cost to the collector.

Luxembourg stamp issues and Year Packs are also shipped worldwide to collectors at no cost whatsoever although a nominal shipping fee of 1.50 euro or 3.00 euro (depending on the size of the Special Folder) and charged to collectors as a one off fee for delivery of special folders worldwide.

A spokesperson for WOPA Stamps said “We are working together with all the Postal Administrations we represent to further minimise shipping fees for orders to collectors worldwide through the WOPA website. We are delighted that Greenland out of their own initiative has decided not to charge collectors any shipping fees on online order. This is a prime example of forward thinking and going the extra mile to help collectors pursue their hobby. (read more)

The brand new series “Greenlandic Mining” begins with two colourful offset stamps. With the stamp series depicting Greenlandic mining history – which will span over five to six years – it is the intention to give an understanding of this development, from the early hopeful attempts right up to the present day industry. The stamp series will begin with examples from the first mines, where mining was attempted on an industrial scale. This occurred some 150 years ago. Ina Rosing has created the beautiful art on the stamps.

The stamp is a beautiful graphic composition, printed in offset, with the value DKK 7.00, which is the postal rate for regular air mail letters up to 20 grams in Greenland. Thue Christiansen expressed earlier this year his thoughts and feelings behind the birth of the flag to POST Greenland’s subscriber’s magazine, Greenland Collector: “We were seven Greenlandic artists who were asked to come up with a flag design proposal without a cross. These would then compete with other proposals with crosses. As you know, my proposal won. (read more)
