Guyana year 1982 Plant Print Ops Service stamp

Guyana year 1982 Plant Print Ops Service stamp

The Guyana 1982 “Plant Print Ops Service” stamp appears to be a stamp from a Flora or Plants series that was locally overprinted with the words “Plant Print Ops Service” (or similar wording) and possibly a new value (surcharge).

Here are the key details gathered:

• Country: Guyana
• Year of Issue: 1982
• Theme/Series: Flora / Plants
• Nature of the Stamp: It is a regular stamp that has been overprinted with “Plant Print Ops Service” (and sometimes referred to with a catalog number like A32 or similar prefixes). This likely means an existing definitive stamp was reused and modified.
• Condition: They are often found in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition.
• Context: Guyana, during the early to mid-1980s, frequently issued new stamps by surcharging and overprinting existing stock due to economic reasons and local printing capabilities. The “Plant Print Ops Service” overprint is one example of these provisional issues.
