The bottom pictures are front and back of a white half-anna Scinde Dawk. These were the first stamps issued in India. They were produced without permission from the British authorities by Bartle Frere, the Commissioner of the province of Sind in July 1852. They were suppressed soon afterwards. IF genuine they catalogue at around £1000 - but you have to kiss a lot of frogs before....

The two Chinese sheetlets don't have any denomination on them so not postage stamps, maybe some sort of souvenir sheets. Not listed in Scott as far as I can see.

Thank you so much for all of your knowledge. I bought few box of stamps from one lifetime collector. I found this Indian stamp with a receipt of $ 1500, I just want to know how to identify that is a really deal.
I will post some more stamps later.

A receipt isn't worth much unless it's from a highly reputable company. And then I would think something not easily discernible, such as that India stamp, would be accompanied by some form of authentication.

Enter exhibit A:

I'm definitely not saying it's not the real deal. It's just that a receipt doesn't say a whole lot.

Of the Scinde Dawk, Robson Lowe (The Encyclopaedia of British Empire Postage Stamps, vol. III, The Empire in Asia), says that on the genuine stamps the last A of ANNA is always over the K of DAWK, and 'the fraction ½ is invariably separate from the central design; in no forgery do either of these characteristics appear.'

If your stamp passes these tests, it should really be certified by the Royal Philatelic Society (RPS) or the British Philatelic Association (BPA) in the UK, in order to extract maximum value from it.
