How to examine the parts of postage stamps using a magnifying glass

A state-of-the-art interactive laboratory allows philatelists to examine the microscopic details of postage stamps. Through a digital magnifying glass, you can explore the quality of perforations, inspect the accuracy of overprints, and identify denominations. The laboratory also allows you to turn the stamp over to examine the original glue and hinge marks, helping you determine your stamp's value with professional precision.

“The turning point between amateur and professional starts from the back. The ability to distinguish between original gum and regummed gum is a fundamental skill.‘.
