| | “What Is A Se-tenant Stamp ?” |
In this new series to introduce common questions related to Philately.Every week a question related to philately will be posted to make readers understand common philatelic lingo.
Se-Tenant - two or more stamps of different designs printed adjacent to one another on a pane.
A Pane is a unit of stamps cut from a full sheet, either for assembly into booklets, or for individual sale at post offices. Sheets intended to be cut into panes for assembly into booklets will each produce a large number of relatively small panes, typically 30, 40, or 60. Sheets intended for division into panes to be sold individually are divided into fewer but larger panes. Many early sheets consisted of only two panes. Most twentieth century sheets consisted of four panes. Modern sheets consist of six or more panes. Panes are commonly, but inaccurately, referred to by the public as sheets.
