Collection of Dutch Postage Stamps (1970s Era)

This is a small collection of used postage stamps from the Netherlands (Nederland), primarily dating to the late 1970s. The set includes three distinct designs. Two red stamps at the top left feature the profile of Queen Juliana, a standard definitive series from that period. Below them is a strip and loose examples of monochrome grey '5c' numerical stamps featuring a modern, gradient-style graphic design characteristic of the Dutch PTT's minimalist aesthetic. The largest portion consists of seven 'EUROPA' themed stamps issued in 1978, depicting the 'Westerkerk' church in Amsterdam. These stamps are printed on paper with perforated edges. Most examples bear visible circular date stamps (CDS) and wavy line cancellations, with locations like 'Amsterdam' and 'Alkmaar' and dates clearly showing '1978'. The physical condition is mixed; several stamps exhibit rough separation, particularly the grey 5c strip which is torn and irregular. The Europa stamps show some corner wear and partial perforations, common for used commercial mail. The color saturation remains decent, though the alignment of the perforations shows some variability typical of mass-produced definitives and commemoratives of this era.
