China postage stamps year 1949 3000-5000$ Harvesting Scot 3L87/88  MNG set The Regional Identification In 1949, before the People’s Republic of China completely unified the country’s postal system, different regions (Liberated Areas) issued their own stamps. The most prominent “Harvesting/Production” designs from this year belong to: The Central China Liberation Area: This area famously issued a definitive set featuring a Farmer, Soldier, and Worker design, as well as specific agricultural harvesting scenes. The East China Liberation Area: Also featured heavy agricultural, train, and production themes with face values spanning the $3,000 and $5,000 ranges. It is vital to distinguish between the face value printed on the stamp ($3,000 or $5,000 Yuan) and its actual collector’s value in today’s market. Face Value: The $3,000 and $5,000 numbers reflect the massive currency inflation in China during 1949. They do not mean the stamp is worth thousands of dollars today.
