Stamp & Coin Dealers Association of Australasia Inc

SCDAA was established in early 1970 when a number of Sydney suburban full and part-time dealers felt the need to establish a Sydney based Trade Association to provide a service to the collector in a growing Sydney market.

The prime aim of the association is to promote Philately and Numismatics and we pioneered Weekend Stamp & Coin Markets at the Croydon Masonic Hall in early 1971 when keen collectors lined up from 8am to gain entry. Markets in Hornsby and Campsie closely followed and then along came Parramatta, Auburn, Merrylands, Newcastle, Canberra, Wollongong, Albury and Wagga Wagga.

Member details and the Code of Conduct can be found at scdaa.com.au.

Petersham Stamp, Coin & Banknote Fair, is held on the 5th Sunday of each 5 Sunday Month at Petersham Town Hall, 107 Crystal Street, Petersham Sydney. Up to 28 dealers attend and Petersham is now the longest running Fair in Australia attracting about 400 collectors to each event. Collectors are well catered with a wide variety of Australian & World Stamps, Coins & Banknotes and Accessories for collectors.

Australasian Philatelic Traders Association

Founded in 1948, APTA aims to develop and maintain a high standard of business ethics, to provide benefits and services to members and to promote the hobby of philately.

APTA Membership embraces dealers, accessory manufacturers, wholesalers, publishers of philatelic literature and employees of members.

APTA studies local and national legislation that may be relevant to the philatelic arena. In this and other areas of influence on the trade or hobby, it not only keeps members informed, but undertakes lobbying to the relevant bodies. Members are required to observe the APTA Code of Ethics to maintain sound and responsible standards of business practice and to encourage and foster high standards of professional conduct amongst those engaged in the stamp trade. This in turn develops goodwill for APTA members throughout the philatelic community.

Internet Philatelic Dealers Association

The IPDA is a non profit organization. It was officially formed in 2002 by a group of individuals whose main intention was to give stamp collectors confidence when buying from internet based dealers. These individuals had been meeting since 2000 and discussing the idea that if a dealer was accredited as a member of what was to become the IPDA, it was the groups expectation that this would help towards making the internet a safer place to buy and sell stamps.

After 5 years of steady growth, the IPDA was incorporated as a non profit Association in the state of Florida USA, on 28th February 2007. The Association’s registered title is The Internet Philatelic Dealers Association Incorporated or The IPDA.

Coin/Note Care

To maintain the quality and value of a coin collection, it is important to care for the coins properly. Improper cleaning or storage can result in damage to the coin’s surface, which significantly decreases its value and can even impact its appearance. To ensure the beauty and longevity of every coin in a collection, use the right cleaning techniques and store the coins in the right containers. To retain the value and aesthetic of your coin collection, proper care and storing are essential. Read more…

Stamp Care

Maybe you’ve inherited an expensive stamp collection and are unsure what to do next. Maybe you’ve had a longstanding interest in philately — the collection and study of postage stamps — but only now had the means of taking your collection to the next level. Regardless, some basic knowledge of how to preserve your stamp collection is essential to protecting your investment for the long term. While stamps must be strong enough to endure the rigors of mail delivery, even those printed specifically for the collector’s market are just thin pieces of paper that can tear or damage easily Read more…

FAQ

I have a postage stamp without any country's name. How can I determine where it is from?

Only one country is permitted to issue postage stamps without including their name. This is Great Britain because it was the first country to issue postage stamps in 1840. In place of the country's name, Great Britain is allowed to simply include an image of the ruling monarch (frequently in the upper right hand corner of the stamp). Remember that many countries do not use English and thus you may not recognize the name.

Are used stamps of any value?

Yes, although in the vast majority of cases unused stamps sell for more, many collectors save used stamps and many of the most valuable stamps are used.
