Guest Ray Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Scott 4868 - coil - Forever - Flag & Fireworks. I have 3 varieties. One with the "SSP" microprint above the flagpole in the fireworks; one with the "APU" microprint in the bottom white bar of the flag against the flagpole; and, one with no microprint. Questions: 1. What do SSP and APU stand for? 2. Is there a Scott Variety number (e.g. 1st described above is 4868, second is 4868a, and last with o microprint is 4868b) for each variety?

pattrickcolin Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Hi Ray Q1 https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com This link has 158 different suggestions for what SSP stands for This Link has 36 different suggestions for what APU stands for Sorry I don't know the answer. Q2 Don't know the answer either. One would need a specialist catalouge and I don't have access to one. Great Stamp collecting, sorry couldn't help colinATcolinpattrickDOTcom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliff Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Ray, the APU (Ashton-Potter (USA)) coil stamp with the USPS microprint in the bottom white stripe of the flag is Scott # 4854. The SSP (Sennet Security Products) coil stamp with the USPS microprint above the flagpole is Scott # 4868. The SSP stamp without the microprint is a booklet stamp Scott #4869. All of these stamps are listed in Stampmanage but the photos may not show the microprint. Cliff Jeff Lynch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
