Separation is by Serpentine Sawtooth roulette,
your stamp has not been separated cleanly, and tears are evident.
Fairly consistent with roulette separations.

All the best for the new year to you, Renden.

A bit of a tough ask for me, I am a worldwide collector, and "grading" for me
involves replacing 1 stamp, with another that just looks better.
(I have just bought a $400 stamp for $5 that has a "thin")

Best advice, I guess, would be "Unused with gum, with obvious faults"
CV in 2009 was $8, probably $1.50 if you could sell it.
I would leave as is, place it in a mount in my Greece collection, and when a better one arrives, replace it.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks Rod, again !

Just found these 2 in an old Scott International Junior Postage stamp Album
RA46 with the overprinted n.i.n., Greek initials for "Patriotic Relied Institution"....with a little more perfs, used, and a RA47 mint with perfs, gum, but hinged.
No intention of selling.

Very nice Renden,
not seen those stamps before, in the flesh, as it were.

The Pmk on the opt, seems dubious to me, yet the used is lower value that mint.
Strange that.

Gum hinged is fine, esp with older hinges that peel easy.
