Any thoughts on this stamp? I'm new and would like to know the condition of this stamp. Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum.

The condition is mint, and appears to be sound, although I can't see all the teeth clearly and there may be a couple of very small minor tone spots (hard to tell without a black background to improve contrast). I cannot see back of stamp, so it is up to you to determine if never hinged. The grade is VF.

In the 2011 Scott catalog, the stamp is China(ROC) #768(1947) and valued at 25c for mint never hinged.

Nice stamp to have.

Thanks khj,
Was going through an album that has been in my family for years. There are others like this but wasnt sure of condition or value. Really appreciate you taking the time.

No problem, glad to be of help.

I see by the picture of the album, the stamp is mint hinged.

A very nice selection. The great majority of those inflation era surcharges are fairly common. However, every once in awhile someone runs into a premium stamp. I see one regional overprint in your pic; the rest look like inflation era surcharges.

Thanks again khj,
Will do more research and try to get familiar with these for the simple fact I have no clue what to look for and so many other countries to view.
