Searching through a lot of stamps, I found this one..Any information on it? I like the green color. What about the overprint? Some type of stamp issued during an Olympic event? Thanks for your help in advance.
This stamp was part of a set which was reissued in new colours and imperf in 1969. Your stamp is SG 266, priced at 15p in the 2014 Gibbons Commonwealth & British Empire 1840-1970 catalogue.
That version of Gibbons is invaluable if you're going to be looking at many pre-1970 British Commonwealth stamps. Pick up the most recent edition you can find, because they keep on adding new listings for tricky little things like inverted watermarks (which can make a big difference to the value of stamps) and telegraph stamps.
Very good! Do they sell Gibbons at Barnes and Noble? Or better off ordering? I just read a little bit about the inverted watermarks. Very interesting. Thank you much.
Maverickx, they do not have stuff like that at B&N. Why don't you check ebay? Again, like with the Scott catalog, try finding one a couple of years old. It won't set you back a mint! Good luck,
