60 Pfennig Stamp Appraisal

Deutsche Post Pfennig Definitive Postage Stamps (15, 20, 30, 40, 60 Pfennig)

This item consists of five individual postage stamps from 'DEUTSCHE POST', likely arranged in a stamp album or on a specialized collector's page. Each stamp features a prominent numerical denomination in a large, stylized font, centered within a rectangular border. Above and below the numeral, the words 'DEUTSCHE POST' are printed, with 'PFENNIG' appearing directly beneath the numerical value. The denomination values visible are 15, 20, 30, 40, and 60 Pfennig. The 15 Pfennig stamp is red/maroon, the 20 Pfennig is blue, the 30 Pfennig is green, the 40 Pfennig is pink/magenta, and the 60 Pfennig is a darker plum or maroon color. All stamps exhibit a consistent design featuring a finely stippled or patterned background within their central square. They are perforated around their edges, indicating their postal use and separation from larger sheets. The stamps appear to be in good condition, with no immediate visible tears, creases, or major discoloration. Their colors are bright and distinct. They are affixed to a light tan, possibly cream-colored, paper surface with horizontal lines, typical of a stamp album page. The alignment and spacing suggest they have been carefully placed. This set represents a definitive issue series from the Deutsche Post, likely issued in the mid-20th century, possibly during the post-WWII period or early Federal Republic of Germany era. The craftsmanship is typical of national postal services, emphasizing clarity and security features, though specific engraving details are not clearly visible. The overall appearance suggests collectible quality.
