Types of Stamps: Se-Tenant Issues
 |
Se-tenant is a term applied to
two or more un-separated stamps having different designs and/or
values. The stamps are usually part of a set of commemorative stamps.
This se-tenant set of four stamps celebrates American folk singers and
includes LeadBelly, Sonny Terry, Woody Guthrie and Josh White.
Se-tenant stamps are fascinating items to add to a collection.
They can contain just two stamps such as the 1975 Apollo/Soyuz issue or
as many as 50 different stamps as in the 1983 State Birds and Flowers and the
1987 issue of Flora and Fauna. Se-tenants are most often issued in blocks of
four.
