Stamps To Be Valued And Are They Worth Something

Are you a young collector? Just curious.

I'm afraid that these are common British stamps without value except for postage.

Nice collection ,work on expanding it . Try to get all the various colors they look nice mounted on a page .

Collection?

Plate flaw?

None of them look to have been cancelled, so their combined value is 23p.

Can check if they are printed on unphosphorised paper coz some may have high catalogue value.

Hi, If the machins shown are unmounted mint they should be worth around or just a few pence over their face value, (probably not the 10p and 5p) due to what looks like creases missing corner on them. There are many, many varieties on machin stamps, for example missing phosphor can make some valuable, along with uncoated papers, imperf pairs, short bands, missing bands, the list goes on and much of it is a specialist area. Machin collecting is a very interesting area to collect. So go for it. One of the finest references for collecting machins is the "Deegam" system, google deegam if you are interested. Good luck.

I welcome the OP and hope he/she doesn't get discouraged and decides to stick around.

Far too often we see these 'is this worth anything' posts, then when the answer is negative the poster disappears. It's soon evident many of these folks are looking for a quick buck. Cannot blame them, but I guess it's just reality.

Agree that the 5p actually looks creased/folded vs. a plate flaw.

Is there an image or resource somewhere that lists all the stamps in this series? I have a lot of them but not sure if I am missing any in the series.

I fear you may be missing a few!

I agree with GeoffHa that the link he provided may be an excellent source of information for you.

The free album pages available at the Adminware site have spaces for 500 different Machins--and that's just a basic collection.

I believe there are over 2,000 varieties of Machin stamps, with new ones still being issued at several a year, and, as long as dear Queen Elizabeth II remains alive, there will be more to come .
