Updated 24th January 2002 - very latest stamps now available. Click [2001/2 issues]
 to go directly to new issues.



As yet there is no definitive list of stamps issued by  the Iraqi Postal Authority since
1990 although Scott (2001 Vol3) and Michel (1999 Near East)  have both allocated catalogue numbers and Michel have also given prices. There are known to be many forgeries of overprints which have been used on mail posted in Iraq, and exact dates of issue are sometimes difficult to ascertain but issue dates shown below are from Scott & Michel to 1997, and the dates of issue for 1998 & 1999 are as supplied by Iraq Telecomms. & Posts Stamp Section.



Please note that some  issues are of poor print quality and/or badly centered. When ordering, you will be sent the best available from current stock. Some issues, especially miniature sheets, have distinct colour differences and these are shown as varieties.

FIFA ITALIA Miniature Sheet Released in Error & Withdrawn


              
Before the outbreak of the 'Gulf War' Iraq had ordered the printing of a set of stamps and a 
miniature sheet to commemorate the FIFA Italia Soccer Championship to be printed by The National
Postal Organisation of Egypt.The stamps and miniature sheets were to have been issued on 
1st July 1990. The stamps & sheets were delivered to Baghdad but the stamps were found to be of 
such poor quality that they were returned to Egypt.The miniature sheets, similar to Egypt 
SG MS1762, being of acceptable quality, were retained by the Iraqi Postal Authority.
I have a copy of circular 4-1990 issued by The Republic of Iraq Ministry of Transport & 
Communications State Enterprise for Telecommunications & Posts Stamp Section which gives details
of the proposed issue and which shows that 200,000 sets of stamps, each comprised of 4 stamps 
with values of 50f, 100f, 150f, and 250f, and 20,000 miniature sheets each with a value of 
500fils, were to be issued. There is an alternative story that only the sheets were delivered
to Jordan prior to the war, and sent to Baghdad after the conclusion of the war. Whichever 
story is true during March 1997 2,000 miniature sheets were mistakenly put on sale in some
 Post Offices in Baghdad but were withdrawn immediately the mistake was discovered.
There are varying accounts of how many of these sheets were sold. One report I have seen says
that between 100 and 200 were sold & the remainder destroyed. I have also read that there were 
suggestions to overprint the remaining sheets for the 1998 World Cup. Whatever happened - and 
it will be detailed here when the truth is known - I can offer you these miniature sheets in

fine unmounted mint condition at £15.00...$US22.00...€ 25.00 each.[Picture]
  


Dome of the Rock Overprints

  
During 1991-1993 a series of 19 overprints & surcharges were issued on SG1291 (ScottRA23) the 
1977  5Fils Dome of the Rock issue.   
Details of some of the overprints are shown in Scott 2001 Vol3 - Iraq, & some are shown in Michel Near East 1999 catalogue. Scott and Michel show these overprints as being issued on Feb. 5th 1994, but they were in fact released on various dates between 1992 and 1996. There are some errors and omissions in the Scott catalogue, and both Scott and Michel fail to list the 100 Fils value.
 
Further details and pictures of all 21 of these stamps, which include those not listed by Scott & Michel, are available to customers. 

The price of a set of 19 which includes an original,is shown below listed as Scott 1465/77 and Michel 1517/24

N.B. THIS SET IS ADVERTISED ON ANOTHER WEBSITE OF MIDDLE-EAST SPECIALISTS AT A PRICE OF $300.00 - OUR PRICE IS $50.00..or.. £35.00..or..€ 59.50



Please note that stamps are in order of issue date when known. For this reason Scott and Michel numbers are not necessarily in sequence. Issue dates from 2/98 to 6/99 are official issue dates in data received from Iraqi Telecomms. & Posts Stamp Section, but often issue dates are delayed e.g. 100D Butterfly stamps due to be issued on 26/12/98 were delayed due to Baghdad being bombed by coalition forces, the 150D having been already released. As more information is obtained about issues from 6/99 details will be added to this listing.
