Hi - I got these stamps in a parcel - and although I have researched them - still not exactly sure how they where dispensed and used.
These are mint with the gum still on them. I saw a similar one that says it was dispensed from an ATM. It has the #of the ATM that dispensed it.
Anyone ever seen this particular stamp and know anything about them other than what I have found to date.
It is not listed in Scotts - 0r if it is I can not find it. Here is what I have found

As you can see it is apparently listed in Michel and it is not rare - as enough were printed - I have just never seen one.
Thanks for looking

Google German stamps from atm machines
Thanks to Gillian - I have learned that these things actually sell on Ebay - so that is very helpful. Thanks Gillian - the terminology G24 may help me in doing some further research. I just think they are different and am now aware of ATM like machines used to dispense stamps - they were apparently tried once by the USPS but the test did not go well - so the idea was abandoned.
Thanks again Gillian
