THE AMERICAN PHILATELIST January 2021 VOLUME 135 • NO. 1 • WHOLE NO. 1,440 Table of Contents PAGE 20 A PHILATELIC QUEST FOR EVERYWHERE BY JOHN SEIDL When presented the challenge of a “one from everywhere” collection, John Seidl stepped up to the plate – and now he has some words of advice for other collectors who wish to try their hand at such a worldwide collection. PAGE 24 LIECHTENSTEIN: A TALE OF ERRORS, FREAKS AND ODDITIES… AND POLITICS BY JOHN R. SHOTLIFF John Shotliff’s philatelic journey may have begun with Liechtenstein Michel 11-16, but he quickly realized that the story of this tiny country’s early issues is anything but tiny. Follow along as Shotliff takes us through WWI and post-war Liechtenstein, its early independent stamp issues, and the amazing errors and oddities that resulted in some of the most interesting stamps in philately. PAGE 34 THE ALLURE OF AMG COLLECTING BY RICHARD PEDERSON Just a few short years, just a few countries and military zones… yet Allied Military Government (AMG) collecting has something to appeal to any collector (not to mention history buffs). PAYING A TAX OR TAX EXEMPT BY RON LESHER Continuing his introduction to the wide world of U.S. revenues, Ron Lesher explains the first purpose of revenues: to show that a tax has been paid or that it is exempt from taxation. Worthy of special note are revenue stamps for certificates and luxury goods, not to mention special tax stamps that measure over 36 square inches! PAGE 52 3¢ OKLAHOMA STATEHOOD (SCOTT 1092) BY CHARLES POSNER Continuing his long-running column “U.S. Commemoratives of the 1950s,” Charles Posner dives into Scott 1092, the 50-year commemorative of Oklahoma’s statehood and one of the PAGE least-popular stamp designs of 1957. Other Features 60 FROM HUBBLE TO HALE-BOPP AND OTHER STORIES BY KATRIN RAYNOR-EVANS One year after her debut article in the AP, Katrin Raynor-Evans is back with a astrophilatelic sequel, inspired in part by the contributions of other generous readers.
