	Definitive stamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A definitive postage stamp is a regular issue stamp that is part of a definitive issue or definitive series consisting of a range of denominations sufficient to cover all postal rates usefully.
		Definitives are the workhorse stamps of a country, and as such, they tend to be small, with designs reflecting local culture and history.
		An exception would be the death of a monarch, necessitating a new definitive series for the new ruler.

		The definitives included a dramatic departure form the usual engraved stamps of the period; the 10c and 1lb stamp were typographed and had a silhouette of a lion, with color combinations of fl/yellow and fl/red, respectively.
		A definitive series, with new designs, was issued in 1954 for Queen Elizabeth, and in 1958 a pair of commemoratives marked the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Great Lakes of Africa by Burton and Speke.
		A new definitive series in 1960 used simpler and more symbolic designs, and was followed in 1963 by three sets of commemoratives.

	Definitive series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-20)
		Definitives are the workhorse stamps of a country, and as such, they tend to be small, with designs reflecting local cultureand history.
		The definitives of poorer countries will often be very plain and cheaply printed, unlike the large and decorativecommemoratives, which are almost pure profit if bought by foreign collectors and never used for postage.
		Since postal administrations know that stamp collectors want toown every stamp of a definitive series, and a complete series can be quite expensive, there is always the temptation to make someextra money by issuing new definitive sets as well as including stamps with very high face values in a set.
