I find the Belfast cancel on the first 1sh QV quite interesting. Might be worth looking into more. |

A closer scan of some stamps would be useful. The HALFPENNY stamp looks clean and decently centered so might be worth a closer look. The PENNY red stamps will all have plate numbers on the sides and some plates are worth more than others. Most are well centered too so that is a bonus. The same goes for the TWOPENNY blue stamps. The torn stamp would be worthless but the pair of HALFPENNY stamps have perfins which interest many collectors...not necessarily in worth but in philatelic terms. |

I love the color of the top, middle, one penny red, plate 113. If you look closely, you'll see some interesting markings in the first few letters of "Postage" at the top. |

From what I can see in your scans, the following plate numbers on the Penny Reds have a CV as follows: Plate # 73 - $3.75, # 104 - $6.00, #174 - $2.50, 184 - $2.50, #185 - $3.75, #187 - $2.50, #195 - $9.50 and #209 - $10.75.
Your Two Penny blues might have some potential, but again, you would have to check the perforations and watermarks.
The one shilling green Queen Victoria stamps have a CV of $65.00 each but are heavily cancelled. The cancels and conditions overall will knock the values down, but, still you have some nice items. BTW - my prices are from Scott's 2009 edition and the most likely changed since then.

A case of a closer scan not improving some of the stamps. I thought the first scan of the halfpenny bantam (JI) showed promise but the closer scan shows much damage so it is space-filler quality and worth pennies. The BELFAST cancelled one shilling green is a typical example of over-soaking with a lot of color loss so, again, space-filler material. Most of your stamps can be obtained for around 10-20% of any catalog value. Anything with damage or very badly centered would be worth very little. The Twopence blue stamps (JI and RI) look nice and can be clearly plated so would be worth looking after. |
