Southern, welcome to the forum. We'd love to help, but you give us very little info to go by. Is it possible to scan your stamps?

I assume these threads will get combined, but in the meantime, here is my answer from your other thread.


Quote:
This is outside my usual era, so take this with a grain of salt, but I believe you have the decimal overprint on Pitcairn 39. You can see the 1/2d under the anchor, which was done as an attempt at obliterating the old value using some visual interest. The decimal 1/2c was added.

This now makes it Scott 72.

Thanks cjd.
I assume all stamps in this set will be renumbered. I'll have to find a non overprint set .
I did'nt know I was buying this one

Then you'll want Scott ##39-51. ##72-84 all have the overprinted anchor. Selling prices shouldn't be too different. You should be able to find 39-51 for $10-13 pretty easily...maybe a bit better if you hold out for the low price.

Thanks Again.
I did just that. Just a babe in the woods with Picairn... I just switched from Un used U.S. Till1980. I guess it part of the learning curve.
