These charts will help you in determining what is face value. Don't be overcharged, know the face value of the countries stamps you collect before going to a Stamp Show. Feel free to download these charts and take them with you to a Stamp Show with Foreign Post Offices or their agents. For other sources of new issues, go to Philatelic Bureaux or New Issue Services at the Stamp Yellow Pages Directory.
