German Stamp Need Help Please

I recently got a big bag of stamps...I found this one in the batch...I looked it up ,,it is Germany Scott #277 or #269 ...I am not sure...I am trying to see what it is worth ,and which stamp it is.Thanks

Taichi, welcome to the forum. You are posting a lousy picture. There is not much we can tell from this, other then this photo makes a good watermark detector. The circles are easy to see!
Can you post a better picture, preferably a scan?

Peter

heres the best pics I can get...scanner doesnt work

Sc 269 is perf, 277 is rouletted. So, it appears to be a Sc 269.

Personally, I find this thread to which I have linked to be confusing.

Apparently there are three types of Sc 269?

Thank you for the information..Now to figure this out..I know it doesn't look dark red,and it has never been hinged....So if anyone out there can help me to verify this stamp any other help will be greatly appreciated.

Sc#269 would be rose red.

Yes, and Sc 269b is listed as carmine rose.

None of your pictures are in focus, so we can't see the edges well enough to tell for sure which it is. If it's 269 it will have round perforation holes, if it is 277 it will have zigzag cuts that will looks like fuzzy triangles cut from the edges. Either way the catalog value is pretty minimal...

No matter what, I think taychi deserves a prize for the most epic stamp scan ever (first picture)

thank you for more info.....the cuts are round not zigzag....the color doesn't look red it looks more pink..Ill go to library and get it scanned tomorrow....

It's just a mint German inflation stamp of the 1920s. Worth nearly nothing. I wouldn't waste a single second with it!

While it is true that it is an ultra-common stamp with very little monetary value, it is how many of us started with these inflation stamps of Germany.
The interest is in finding more (easily available) and seeing the higher and higher values... millions progress into billions for instance. Used stamps are worth a great deal more than your mint one.
Stamps used on covers will enhance your collection as well (again easily available) if you should wish to continue collecting these. Research online and see what you can find out about prices etc

I agree, but in my case I'd expand that to include anything that was obviously out of place in the era I started collecting as a young child - the 1970's. Stamps such as these with face values in the millions and billions, stamps picturing exotic (to me) subjects, stamps picturing history's most notorious tyrants, stamps from countries that no longer exist, etc. That kind of stuff was brain candy for me as a young kid, and it really set the stamp collecting hook pretty deep in me. It's changed a little bit over time. When I was a kid, I was fascinated just to learn that stamps such as these even existed. Today, the thrill comes from the fact that I can own a tiny little piece of those times and places in history that I still find fascinating.
