Most likely very high! Your example is still on part of the original envelope it was mailed on, one very good requirement for bisects! It is a pretty piece, too bad the whole cover was not saved!

Is it part of a postal card ? Unfortunately it appears to be on piece as opposed to a full postal card or cover. |

Yes it is on piece. I wish it were on a full cover but it is what it is. |

I at first thought it might be Sc. #14a which has no value attached but as I look closer, I think I see part of an overprint, maybe the top loop of the "O" of two. What do you think? |

I can't believe that the bisects on piece a returning the same value as a full cover. Without an origination and destination how could one ever see it as any thing more than a philatelic creation? |

No doubt about it, definitely genuine. However, these British Honduras bisects are quite common on piece and not too valuable. The real value is getting them on cover. |

According to Robson Lowe"s Encyclopedia of British Empire Postage Stamps, "The 1d is found bisected on piece but is not known to us on cover" (Volume 5, p 673. |

I had a similar bisect on piece that came with a small British Honduras collection that I purchased in the late 1990s. I sent it to the APS for review and it came back as not genuine. |
