A number of ebay listings by various sellers for this stamp gives the used value as $500 yet my 2011 listing says $42.50 . Has it recently increased ? Thanks .

Switzerland #54 is in my 2013 catalog valued at $12.50 mint, $500.00 cancelled. In the Swiss Zumstein catalog # 47 is priced approximately the same. Zumstein 47 is the same as Scott 54.

The price is for postally used with correct period of use cancel. I believe the price is likely italicized -- for good reason.

Beware of fake and favor cancels. Tied on piece cancels are a common trick, so don't assume a cut piece is genuine postally used.

Sorry khj, I was going to mention that but totally forgot! Yes, the price for a cancelled stamp is italicized. In addition, on cover the Zumstein value is over Chf 800.00!

I was wondering about this same thing awhile ago ...

I still think that $500 is wrong. Stanley Gibbons (#63) only quotes a value of about $44. Which one is right?
