I am having a difficult time finding a worth on these egyptian stamps, if you notice I have 2 of the same one with an over print and one without. I am just trying to catalog a few things and these I have found a bit difficult.



And these I dont remember what problem I had with them, but had issues finding a worth on them I think...

Oops ! Forgot the values !
These are mostly minimum value to a few cents above, so quite common.
The Rose-Lake overprint stamp is a touch more but only half a dollar or so.

Hope all this helps.

There are watermark differences in these stamps.

You are right ! I must have read my notes too quickly.

The stamp with the 'sawn-off' corner has a Crescent and Star Watermark, Type II. [15mm wide, flatter Crescent].

Sorry for the error.
