Declaration of Human Rights sheet, other U.N. issues receive Scott numbers

Scott Catalog News – By Charles Snee

It’s time to serve up another plate 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.N. stamps from the offices in New York, N.Y.; Geneva, Switzerland; and Vienna, Austria. New Scott numbers for worldwide stamps are given in the Scott New Listings Update in the expanded monthly issue of Linn's Stamp News.

Among the significant issues receiving Scott numbers is the three-stamp souvenir sheet issued Oct. 27, 2017, to honor the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The entire text and preamble of the declaration are printed on each stamp in English, German and French.

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

Having these numbers handy will allow you to easily locate these stamps in the catalogs and learn about their production and values.
