The Niue looks like SG 138 (if perf 14) - 2013 Gibbons cat. value 50p. There is also a rough perf 11 variety, SG 138a, cat. at £8.50.

You're welcome, not even going to try to determine if the 6 cent is a 39 or 43.

Thanks BlackJag.

The perf measure reads 12. So this is either a 27, 39 or a 43.

As Rhino pointed out the nightmare of making out colours begins now I guess. Really stupid question but is there a way to determine the colour also lol?

And here is another one I can't place:

I am guessing either Syria or Lebanon. It has to be a Muslim country with the Piastre as a currency.

Thanks for all the support.

Can't be 27 as 27 has "SIX CENTS" spelled out at bottom.

Stamp on left is 39. stamp on right is 43. Also 39 has a lower left position dot while the 43 on the right does not.

Hey thanks for all your help Rhino.

I saw your post late last night but was too tired to check the stamp. I think you removed the link that you had yesterday. I think that would help me find the dot you are referring to.

Edit: Found it. Will get back to you on results.

For colors there is a handy Stanley Gibbons color pinwheel dealy which roughly says what color you have. Of course it can only be a rough estimate.

Here is an ebay link.

Thanks Katchem_ash, the problem is that I have only one of these in my collection. So comparing it to other stamps is a bit of an issue.

I think its most likely a 43, but just going to have to wait to accumulate more.

Damn, and I thought the Washington / Franklins were the only ones to be tricky, these are a nightmare.

Edit: It is a 39, I just noticed the "dot" on the lower left. I really need to start focusing on the small things.

Only in these 3 stamps this is what I missed:

1. Cape of Good Hope
2. Six cents vs 6 cents
3. Dot

Wow! lol

Hello again,

So I bought a small lot of ebay for $ 1.00 + $ 1.50 for shipping.

A small 8 stamp lot of New South Wales.

The ones I got were Scott Catalogue Nos (All used):

1. 61 - Condition below average. Teeth almost missing, centering off.
2. 63 h - Average
3. 82b - Average
4. 99 a or b - Average
5. 98 - Average

The one I am having a problem with is the pic below: Any help is appreciated.
