Ceylon 1855
Sc117a Inverted Surcharge (see caveat) P14 Opt type a
Wmk 2

CV $350 (2009)

Second.

Looks like Sc#7 1852 (Various varieties, you need a specialist)

The second one looks like it might be a stamp from the Papal States.

Rod,

awesome info. Thanks

these were in an envelope with "$$$" signs on it in a relatives old collection, but no identification. I appreciate the help.

I found them in Scott catalog now that you guided me to right spot. I cannot tell if that inverted surcharge is on forgery "lilac rose" or real "rose". I will have to find a color gauge.

You're welcome.
I am not deeply experienced with any of the countries you show,
I just read the catalogue.
Answering questions helps me learn as well.

Nice triplet of stamps.
In my opinion, if you intend to sell, go through a well known auction house.

I just learned where the country of Ceylon was located: "an island in the Indian ocean separated from India by the Gulf of Manaar"

Now known as Sri Lanka!! We all try to learn new things everyday. Maybe I'll hit the jackpot on Jeopardy TV show with this one!
