I am collecting Canadian stamps and have come across Se-Tenant blocks. For example, Scott #629 - #632 is a Se-Tenant Block. I have seen others called this as well. Does Se-Tenant block mean it comes together as one block that are attached and can be separated or is it individual stamps that are just grouped together? I hope the question makes sense. For example, I have each of those Scott #s as individual stamps. Should I display them as individual stamps or is it intended to shown as one large set still attached to each other?
Thanks for the help!

Shannon,
Good morning. I would say absolutely display them together. Per Merriam-Webster, Se Tenant means "of postage stamps
: joined together as in the original sheet but differing in design, overprint, color, or perforation." If possible, I would display them all four together as an uncut sheet.
Of course, you could also display them separately as mint or used. There really is no right or wrong way to collect or display them. It's whatever works best for you.
This is an attractive stamp design!

P.S. - Here's an image of US Scott # 1254 - 1257,used block of four. America's first Se Tenant stamps.

Shannon, I'm also an avid collector of se-tenant blocks, a very common way to issue stamps by many countries and like you I collect them in single state but used.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and all of the members of the club.

When I am lucky enough to get a nice se tenant block, preferably used but not necessary, I take the singles out of the album and replace them with the block. It's up to you and what you like! I have some nice duplicate blocks saved in a Lindner stock book.

Thanks so much for the responses guys! I forget that it's my collection to do with what I choose. I like the idea of putting them in as singles for now and replacing them as a block if/when I come across them.
