James and I just came across this stamp in a collection that James acquired recently.

1854 SG#88


According to Stanley Gibbons it is worth AUD $1450 in used condition.
I was wondering what your opinions of the stamp are and how the offset printing would affect the value. Also the Scott catalog value as a comparison please, if anyone can help.

Scott lists a few similar to this.

Is yours lithographed or engraved? And what's the watermark?

I don't normally get into specialising, so I'm not sure.
How do you tell?

Here's the back.

You can generally see and/or feel the ridges of the engraving. Lithography or offset printing will be flat.

Hi Steve,
Looks like this is Scott #65 with watermark 55. Not a lot of value I'm afraid. You should check the perfs and report back.

Watermark 55 .....Large crown and NSW can clearly be seen by my eyes at least although a second opinion would not go amiss.

I hope you have found a gem, but maybe you haven't !

Good luck

Oops ! I missed the perf part of your message !
Perf 10 all round has a cat value of $2.50.

The SG # is 243....I believe.

Thanks for your help, everyone.

I just knew it wouldn't be worth $1450.
