Hello Gandhi Collectors,
Niger, officially named the Republic of Niger, is a landlocked country in Western Africa, named after the Niger River. It borders Nigeria and Benin to the south, Burkina Faso and Mali to the west, Algeria and Libya to the north and Chad to the east. The capital city is Niamey. (Read more about Niger at Wikipedia)
In 1968 Niger honored Mahatma Gandhi along with other popular leaders MLK, John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy during that time.
This stamps and sheet are similar to stamps issued from countries like Cameroun, TCHAD and Gabon. All this countries issued stamps of same leaders and similar pictures on stamp sheet. None of the other leaders stamps except Gandhi is even selling for one-tenth of this price.!!!
Even after 40+ years this stamps and stamps sheet are appreciating at all because of very large quantity comparing to population during that time. All 4 Stamps are available some where around $1 - $2 and Miniature sheet of 4 stamps is available from 2-3$ range.
Also 3000 Gandhi FDC were issued so I think there will be enough for everyone.
Don't just buy it because you are collecting Gandhi Stamps and Philatelic materials. Need to understand first lot of things before you start buying it.
Again Gandhi Stamps and Sheet are available in very very large quantity so you will find it cheap all the time and MNH stamps and sheet does not have importance in exhibition. It only looks good in your album.!!
Thanks
