* Notes about these prices:
- They are currently in beta mode, meaning that they should not be relied upon yet as a source of truth and could change frequently. Please notify PSG if you come across values that do not make sense.
- They are not based on catalogue values but on current dealer and auction listings. The reason for this is that catalogues tend to over-value stamps.
- They are average prices and might not be fully accurate. The actual value of your stamp may be slightly above or below the listed value, depending on the overall condition of your stamp.
Three new stamps are being added to the medium value Fruit Trees of Canada series to coincide with new postal rates for USA, second step domestic and international rate stamps. The Shagbark Hickory derives its name from its bark, which comes away from the trunk in large, uneven shaggy pieces. Its nuts are edible, its sap is sweet and its bark has many uses. Native people would crush and boil the nuts to produce a highly nutritious milk for making cakes. The inside of the bark contains a yellow dye widely used in the 18th century. Its wood has been used for lacrosse sticks, fishing rods, bowls and tool handles. The tree is indigenous to the southern part of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest region.
