110 Rupiah Stamp Appraisal

110 Rupiah President Suharto Postage Stamp

This is a rectangular perforated postage stamp from the Republic of Indonesia featuring the portrait of President Suharto. The stamp's design is dominated by a central monochromatic photograph-style portrait of Suharto wearing a traditional songkok (cap) and a formal suit with a tie, set against a warm yellowish-orange background. At the base, the text 'REPUBLIK INDONESIA' is printed in a bold, sans-serif red font, followed by the denomination '110;' in a matching red color. The physical condition shows signs of postal usage, notably a heavy black circular cancellation mark (postmark) that obscures part of the portrait and the upper right corner, where the letters 'TA' are visible, likely part of a city name like 'JAKARTA'. The perforations appear relatively intact along the edges, though there is slight unevenness suggestive of being removed from an envelope. The paper shows mild toning consistent with age, likely dating from the 1970s or early 1980s during the New Order era. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume government-issued definitive or commemorative stamps of that period, utilizing a standard photogravure or offset printing process. There are no obvious tears, though the cancellation ink is quite dark, which is a significant factor in philatelic assessment.
