I just inherited these 18 stamps from a family member. I was wondering if any are valuable? I've looked around the internet and haven't been able to find these exact stamps; any help is much appreciated.(prices/places to look)
#16 is Newfoundland SC 146 and in "Fine" used condition catalogued at 60 cents Canadian.
It was issued January 3rd, 1928.
It could be comb perforated 14.0 x 13.9 or 13.5 x 12.75 or line perforated 13.7 x 14.0, or even compound perforated, without any difference in catalogue value.
Your number 7 is a British George V two pence orange and it could have been issued any time between around 1912 and 1926 ...it depends on the watermark to find out the date of issue etc.
... A used example like this would only be worth a few pennies even in very good condition. The value depends on condition, watermark, variety (if any). Some collectors are interested in the postmark as well as the stamp and some can be rarer than others.
Re #7, what we are looking for is an inverted, reversed, or sideways watermark, all of which boost the value substantially. This is the great generally-overlooked secret of Great Britain's George V and George VI definitives.
