Queen Victoria,9 Pence, Large Margin

Hi,
I'm trying to identify this Q.V. 9 pence with a large margin,
what is its catalogue number and value considering its large margin?

Thank you

It is called a "Wing Margin", Wing-margin stamps occur on the surface-printed stamps 1855-80. For the 3d, 6d, 9d, 10d, 1s or 2s stamps with watermark emblem or spray the sheet is arranged in 12 panes of twenty stamps forming a sheet of 240 stamps, stamps with D, E, H or I in the SE corner will have a wing-margin. That is 80 stamps out of 240 or one third will have wing-margins. With the introduction of the Imperial Crown watermark in 1880 (SG 157) there are no wing-margins.

I don't use SG but the Scott's number is #40. Value for a used one in good condition $375.00. Sadly though the example shown with the trimmed bottom would only be a space filler.

thanks for the information
saying space filler is equal to say 1$ value?

gaspa,
Not necessarily.
English stamps remain the highest value in the world and even a stamp with a clean corner cut off like this has value, if you find a collector unable to afford a better one.
As with everything though, finding that buyer is the difficult bit.

Indeed, and the nice clear cancel would intrigue us cancel collectors.

With Plate #4, this is Scott #46, not #40. Also the latter has small corner letters. Fortunately, #46 catalogs about 50% more than #40, with "$500 used" in the 2008 Scott (latest I have). On a good day, it might bring $7 to $10.

I respectfully have to disagree. Great Britain Stamps are probably the most over valued stamps right now. The highest value I believe would have to be China as some of these are fetching 3 times catalog value but GB stamps are lucky to get 25%. Australian pre-decimals and classic US yield higher % of catalog also. As far as the Stamp shown, it's a space filler at best and I agree with Doug that $7 on a good day would be it's max as it's centering is not good and the scissor cut diminishes it's value.

I think the watermark will be key to identifying this stamp properly. Is it a 'emblems' or 'spray'?

If it is Emblems then it is a SG 98/Scott46, if it is Spray it's a SG 110/Scott52.

The postmark would help with the value, but not by much.

Have a good one,

The watermark is the spray one.

Thanks for all the interesting informations

puzzler,
Absolutely, sometimes vital things are missed by those who do not understand all the vagaries. As with any item, not just stamps, finding the buyer is the key. In this case the use of Gibbons is essential.
