The 2022 edition of the listing catalog for stamps from Monaco and the French overseas territories recorded targeted increases compared to the 2021 edition, for productions from New Caledonia, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, French Polynesia, Wallis and Futuna and the French Southern and Antarctic Territories (TAAF).
Mayotte stamps are subject to the same rate of increase – until the island becomes 101e French department and 5e French overseas department in March 2011 – as well as Oceania and Tahiti, precursors of French Polynesia.
In detail, for the “classics” of Mayotte (published before 1900), the first fourteen stocks of the territory listed 840 euros (in nine without hinge), go to 420 euros (new with hinge, instead of 419.50 euros l last year) and 353 euros (canceled, unchanged).
A significant upward trend affects the 1892-1900 stamps overloaded with new values in 1912: the eleven new labels jumped from 47 to 68 euros (“normal” surcharge) and from 994 to 1,435 euros (“Spaced overload”).
For the most recent stamps, no changes.
Concerning New Caledonia, the “Triquérat” of 1859 recorded an increase of nearly 10% new, to 350 euros. For the following issues, number 2 is displayed at 1160 euros in new without hinge, at 580 euros in new with hinge and canceled (instead of 530 euros in the previous version of the catalog).
The 5 centimes on 1 olive franc of the “Sage” type (n ° 8) is marked at 28,000 euros (new without hinge), 14,000 euros (up 1,500 euros, new with hinge) and 16,000 euros (at instead of 14,500 euros, canceled).
Airmail stamps and tax stamps follow the same upward trend and new non-hinged referencing, with a more spectacular increase for the first “tax” (15% to 30% increase).
For Tahiti, the increases are sometimes spectacular: the 2 centimes lilac-brown sur straw (1893), whose new version without hinge is at 10,000 euros, sees its price drop from 4,500 to 6,000 euros (new with hinge) and from 3,500 to 5,000 euros (canceled). For the “tax”, the n ° 1 in nine with hinge takes 130 euros, to 600 euros now.
Oceania is also easily progressing by 10%, the stamps of the French overseas territory of Polynesia succeeding them not moving.
We change hemisphere, for Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. Here too, new classic stamps, without hinges, are now listed. This allows a good 22,000 euros for the n ° 1, of which, moreover, the new versions with hinge and canceled are on the rise, the stamps going respectively from 10,000 to 11,000 euros and from 3,500 to 4,000 euros . The new series from 1924-1927 (n ° 118 to 128) takes 25%, at 125 euros (with hinge, 190 euros without hinge). These fine progressions benefited all stamps until 1958. After that, nothing.
