Sometimes, when people want to focus on something that, in their opinion, is worthless, they compare it with the cost of acorns that are lying under an oak, and which, of course, are of no interest to anyone, of course, we are not talking about wild boars, which know the true value of acorns.
I guess I look like that, the wild boar that tries to remind in the first place to himself, about his hobby, collecting postage stamps, which, for many, have become of little interest.
A lot of water has flown under the bridge since I first got into postage stamps. Not only postage stamps began to look like acorns, but also the money of the country and era where and when I was born.
Then, I would need two coins, which you see below, to purchase the postage stamp, about which, today will be discussed.
These are coins with a face value of three and one kopeck of the USSR.
You will be able to see by comparing the years of issue of the coins and the postage stamp that there is a possibility that these coins could be a means of purchasing this postage stamp.
Lol, I was able to combine numismatics and philately together.
Both coins are copper-nickel alloy. These are quite heavy coins that could be used in soda machines without buying special tokens. Three kopecks water with syrup, and, one kopeck, plain soda without syrup. But, it was possible to do without coins if you knew where and with what force to hit the machine with your fist, lol.
I believe that everything has its price, acorns, coins and postage stamps, but, as elsewhere, you need to be able to find a profitable buyer and seller.
As you probably already understood, on the next postage stamp with a face value of 4 kopecks of the USSR from the Protected Trees and Shrubs series, issued in the USSR in 1980, we will see 1f.
The image on the postage stamp gives an idea of what the tree, leaves and fruit of the oak tree looks like.
