Hello Gandhi Collectors,
Grenada is an island country consisting of the island of Grenada and six smaller islands at the southern end of the Grenadines in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. Grenada is located northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, northeast of Venezuela, and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
It is 203rd in world by size of 344 square kilometres (133 sq mi), with an estimated population of 110,000. Its capital is St. George's.
In 1969 Grenada issued four color full Gandhi Stamps of 6 cents,15 cents, 25 cents and 1$ (East Caribbean dollar) in a miniature sheet. I think (not sure) this stamps are still valid as currency was never revalued or discontinued.
This stamps and miniature sheet is widely available under $2. (US dollar).
In 1986, Grenada issued another Gandhi stamp along with MLK stamps to celebrate Disarmament week and International Year of Peace.
This stamp is also available under $2.!!
In 1998 Gandhi Miniature Sheets were issued. Don't know why this many stamps sheet from such a small country.
FDC of above miniature sheet are also available on internet public auction sites which are questionable. Needs to do more research before you buy it. To me it don't look like officially used FDC.
As miniature sheet having 4 Gandhi stamps did not fit on envelope so they affix it inverted.!!!
To me it looks that 1998 miniature sheet were just issued to make money like other Gandhi material available to collectors as popularity in Gandhi thematic collection increased after 1990 and printers and dealers never missed this chance.!!
This stamp sheet are available somewhere between 10-12$, but I don't think it will increasevalue of your collection. So now it's upto you what you need to do.
Again thanks for reading and Please share your thoughts in the comments section.
Thanks
