Just trying to confirm what I have here is not worth little value or is common. I've gotten used to checking watermarks on every Great Britain stamp I come across. My question is - Is the stamp I have here common with the watermark inverted? What is the catalog number and value please.

Thanks!

Thank you for double checking, I'm overly cautious at times and appreciate the confirmation.

Tip: You should really endeavor to offer the watermark ID, and the perforation of any stamps you want valued.

It would identify a postal forgery ($600) etc.

As Perf 12 suggests, Sc#116 used CV: $3 (but more like 25c in general)

Inverted Watermarks only exist from from Booklets
I cannot see any immediate varieties or flaws.
