I would like some information in regards to these stamps from stamp experts, I cannot find any information or any similar images of people having these stamps online. Better quality images can be sent by email if requested. Thanks I have also added two other images of another stamp that I'd like some information on. The pair of 1869 is in mint condition. I have added two other images    *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***  |

Looks like a pair of 1869 revenue stamps. One of the reasons you don't see many online is partly due to demand. You can find the $5 value for around $20 - $25. |

Oneofakind, welcome to the forum. One thing you should do in order for folks here to give you an answer. Please give us better pictures. Scan the stamp if possible, or at least take them out of the mounts that reflect the flash.

Be sure to look at the back of the final two to see if they say facsimile on them. |

One cent British Guiana has facsimile written at the back. What does this mean? |

So facsimile means it's fake, but does it have a value even if it is a fake? |

No, there are lots of different later copies of this stamp around, as it's the world's most valuable. |

Thank you all for the messages. I wanted to know how much is the value of the 1869 pair of 3 dollar stamp is roughly? |

It all depends on the condition. The first series Guiana inland revenues can be quite scarce. Are they used? Unused? any original gum on the backs? Better scans with detail will help us help you. |

Are they toned or foxed at the lower edge? Might be an idea to get the stamps out of their housing, which doesn't look too healthy. |

The original poster (Oneofakind) sent a message to the moderators which I think was meant to be a public post. It is as follows... Quote:
