  1. Are the Isle of Man stamps new or reprints of past issues? The values are curious "Postage Paid USA" along with £2.55 on the same stamp is rather odd. What happens when the rate to the USA increases? I suppose one positive of the Queen's passing is post offices will be less likely to reprint older issues as they feature the Queen's cypher or silhouette.

    1. I think the designs have been used previously and have been reincorporated in this new miniature sheet. Presumably reusing old stamp designs means the design costs are very small. This is a littl3 trick IOM PO guests up to quite often.
