But on the flip side the provisional issues such as what Benin produced definitely create a new area of postal history that can be quite fascinating.Gene/DJCMHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289801853947188368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969762601112571236.post-63720752756037690382017-10-18T19:57:41.409-07:002017-10-18T19:57:41.409-07:00Gene - Well, that was worth a read!
