U.S. PTSD semipostal, U.N. stamps receive Scott catalog numbers

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. and U.N. stamps issued during recent months. New Scott numbers for worldwide stamps are given in the Scott New Listings Update in the expanded monthly issue of Linn’s Stamp News.

Included in this month’s listings are Scott numbers for the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder semipostal stamp issued Dec. 2, 2019, and numerous stamps issued by the United Nations for use from its offices in New York, N.Y.; Geneva, Switzerland; and Vienna, Austria.

What do these Scott numbers signify? In short, each stamp's place in an upcoming edition of the 2021 Scott catalogs.

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

Now that you have some context, here are the new U.S. Scott numbers:
