First post.

These stamps fell out of an envelope yesterday when I was trying to gather my disorgansied mass of stamps.

They are unused.

I did Google them but can't get a real feel for their possible values.

I have many other stamps and may post pics of others in due course but, in the meantime, many thanks for any thoughts and tips about these specimens.

A close up of the stamps would be nice as would the identity of watermark type.
The top block of halfpenny stamps are the easiest to recognize. Those four are from 1912 Die 2 with a Simple Royal Cypher watermark and are S.G.344 or Scott#157.
Varieties of color, watermark and other properties exist as specialist items so prices will vary greatly with the variety involved.

Thanks scotzm. I'll see what I can do about scanning closer and posting a more detailed pic with some info on the watermark.

Welcome to SCF. Be sure to say 'hello' over in the Introductions Forum.

Work on your scanning and posting images. It will take a few attempts, but you'll get the hang of it.

There is a tutorial in the menu (at left); also my comments in this thread may help https://goscf.com/t/39800

Use the search button at the top of every page to find more help and tips.
