Could you be more specific with what information you are looking for? I think there are many who don't want to spend time typing out information that you already know.

If you are looking for which plate, the picture is way too low resolution to determine the plate. Do you own this? It looks like a low resolution auction/sales picture.

In the 2014 Scott Classic catalog, Great Britain #2, valued at US$275,000 for an unused block of 4. Definitely falls in the rare stamps (as a block of 4) category.

Now you know why I asked if it was yours or a pic you found off the internet.

I'm assuming of course, it's a real stamp and not a proof.

My first impressions...I'd say the margins are trimmed off, which is less than ideal, and it looks like it might be used and washed.

Agreed, it's definitely not mint and not VF sound. But even used catalogs at US$40,000 in 2014 Scott. Too bad the pic is on yellow background. I would like to see the small crown watermark to show it is a stamp and not something else.

I would have expected to still see the watermark even on yellow background, as the watermark on this issue is usually very obvious.

Can you show a pic of backside on black background?

same

Can you please state clearly and without any conditions that you own this block or are you just wasting everyone's time.


Members - it seems to me that this person keeps coming up with either ridiculous questions or some of the most rare stamps in the world. He seems to avoid answering direct questions. A person with access to such a rarity would not be asking for advice on a public forum.

Maybe a Mod could do a check on where he is posting from to see if he really does live in China as he would not have access to such rarities in that country.

Regards
Frank

English is not Same's first language but I believe he is trying to learn. While he lives in China he previously stated that he is currently located in Europe for medical treatments and this is true. I agree that some of his posts can be hard to understand but I think this is due to the language challenges.

Our common ground is the love of our hobby.

Dear friends
 I lived in China since I was 19 years old. I have lived in a European country (Cyprus) for 4 years because of the treatment.
I have over one million postage stamps and all of them are in my children's home in China
I have a lot of rare stamps and I have all the information about them.
Some people consider my questions ridiculous and trivial, some people do not respect the feelings of others, and some people consider themselves to be an expert in all stamps and speak up.
So I decided to surprise you with this block, to tell you that I am not looking for treasure and I do not need money.
Yes, this character belongs to me and I do not have his questions, but to satisfy some of you, I asked a question I know his answer.
China has the most insignificant stamps and the Chinese people are not as poor as some fools think.

A few years ago I asked about the stamp of Washington , one of the people claimed he saw a lot like him, and asked him to put pictures in the forum, but he did not.
I have been asked not to post the topic again.
But so far no one has shown anything similar to it.
  I'm waiting to leave and I'm not afraid but I hold on to life, so I challenge anyone of you to have such a postage

Hard to know the condition from the scan and the yellow background does not help. It is a Scott#2 (as already mentioned) and plate 1. Value could range from £40 to £200 for each stamp individually but the condition is one criteria that cannot be assessed from that scan. As a block you could, in theory, multiply the individual values by a factor or eight depending on condition.

Scotzm, you've got a lot more experience and a lot better eyes than I!

Want to learn how you recognized it as plate 1. Could you point out the factor(s) for this particular block that led you to ID as plate 1?

Thanks!
