Scott Catalog News – By Charles Snee

Another month has passed, and that means it’s time to reveal another batch of new Scott catalog numbers.

The editors of the Scott catalogs each month assign catalog numbers to new issues from the United States, United Nations and postal services from around the world.

The new Scott numbers detailed here are for U.S. stamps issued during the past month. New Scott numbers for worldwide stamps are given in the Scott New Listings Update in the expanded monthly issue of Linn's Stamp News.

Headlining this month's new listings is the commemorative forever stamp honoring the bicentennial of the Flag Act of 1818, which is now Scott official with No. 5284. Scott 5298 has been assigned to the attractive O Beautiful pane of 20, while the new federal duck stamp is Scott RW85.

What do these Scott numbers signify? In short, these stamps’ place in upcoming editions of the 2019 Scott catalogs.
