I found these in an estate collection. I can't seem to find the First Stamp (the green one). I find it imperforate but not perforated.

I believe this to be somewhat valuable. Can anyone let me know it's value?

Thank you all.

The pic is not of a good enough quality to tell much.

You can't find the 5c green perforate because it is a remainder from Sardinia- an Imperforate- that has forged perforations.

And the David Cohn reprint-forgeries are rife for these issues.

Educate yourself here....

Thank you for that site. I'll reference there first.

So far my Ochr colored 10c is 11.5 x 12 perforations. I haven't checked the rest. I'll do more investigating. It came from a 16 volume Scott International estate collection. 1935 was last publication.

Beautiful collection.

Cool! Filled with stamps?

Yes, check the perfs, and use a magnifying glass to rule out those David Cohn forgery-reprints.

Yes. I aquired it filled with at least 50,000 stamps. I purchased an entire lot from a previous stamp dealers collection. Looks to end sometime in 1993. This seems to be his prized collection or something.

I'm reading the details now and I'll update the page.

Thank you for your support.
