This video is about 52 rare and valuable postage stamps of Latin America. These stamps are particularly from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Honduras, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Haiti. Because governments issue stamps of different denominations in unequal numbers and routinely discontinue some lines and introduce others, and because of their illustrations and association with the social and political realities of the time of their issue, they are often prized for their beauty and historical significance by stamp collectors whose study of their history and of mailing systems is called philately.
