Need Help To Find Value And If Are Good Or Rares Stamps

thanks a lot rod222

i trust your opinion can you just shortly tell me why 1902, caus from the point of color it looks to me more like 1911/1912 thanks

Well done!
I stand corrected, as usual I took the colour and the least expensive, that generally proves correct. I should have been more precise.

So, where do we stand? to be frank, I don't know.
You shall need a specialist.
There are 8 types from what I can see, including chalky paper.

Scott would have us believe you can note the difference in perforation
P14 visa v P15x14
but Stanley Gibbons does not appear to confirm that

I'll stand by my opinion, but happily change via a specialists opinion.

thank you rod222
and do you expect the expert to reply here or you recomend me to contact one thanks btw the perf is 14 all around

I cannot answer that iS,
you may get a GB collector here to offer a further opinion.
You are in dedicated territory with this stamp.

Personally, I collect world wide, and hence my stamps (esp early GB) are fairly low grade, still in glassines and in the "too hard " basket.

I am always sceptical of colour grading 100 year old stamps. I have never seen a mint example of your type.

The colour purple, by it's nature is borderline fugitive.

Here is a swatch of uglies, and similar livery of the Queen Victoria.
Colours go haywire.

Good luck in your search.



Type 87 in SG

thank you rod222

i forgot to post a scan of the back side so here it is thanks

Thanks for the back view, iStamp!

From the back scan as it appears to me, its not a lemon back, and the front view does not look like it's lemon paper either. SG lemon is a very bright, paler color. It doesn't appear to be chalky paper, either, by the grayish and soft cancel strike.

iam very sceptic and in general the worst thing to id and is nightmare for me is color and wm yeah well thanks for replying and sharing opinion btw have a look at the stamp in my last post/q in Great Britain postmarks
