More than 16,500 value changes are recorded in Volume 6 of the 2014 Standard catalogue. Value increases are scattered among classic-era issues and recent modern (2000-present) issues. Almost 2,300 value changes were made in North and South Vietnam, along with more than 1,800 Sierra Leone. A significant editorial enhancement has been added to the common-design listings that appear in the catalogue introduction. Each individual set within each subject listing now has a set total, and a set total is provided for all the stamps in each subject. Each set total is linked to the corresponding total within each country s listings in our database. This means that the totals will automatically update when values are changed in a given country.

Several important editorial enhancements have been made in the 2013 edition of the U.S. Specialized. Also more than 7,800 value changes were recorded. For the first time, Scott recognizes the I grills from the 1870-71 Bank Note issues (Scott 134-144) as new major catalogue numbers.

This section was put together with the assistance of Linn s Stamp News U.S. Notes columnist John M. Hotchner and fellow counterfeit collectors Richard Drews, Kurt and Joann Lenz, and Howard
