Help Please' Inherited Stamps. Is This Block Of 3 Special?

Block of 3 queens with 1d & 4d values + color difference as if printer low on ink? . Is this a unique block? I'm acclimating to this hobby.Any advise is much appreciated

Welcome to the world of stamp collecting for pleasure. Your 'about me' is quite humorous. Have fun collecting you will enjoy it.

Welcome to the fòrum.
Indeed, its "a unique" block...Among many thousands alike...Value? a few cents if you find a buyer...Welcome, also, to the real world! Acclimating, can be hard depending on your expectations...

Welcome

I guess there is nothing special about this block of 3 stamps, & referred to as a coil end or something close. This is not an effortless hobby

Nothing comes for free...

Your "block" (technically a strip, not a block) of three stamps of differing face values and colors, is one half (probably the upper half, judging by the clipped perforations at the top of the stamps) of a booklet pane, Stanley Gibbons number 724 l (the last is a lower case letter L) described as a se-tenant (French term meaning stamps of different designs or denominations joined together)pane of 6 made up of four copies of 724, the one penny light olive, and two copies of 732, the four pence deep olive-brown. Issue date was April 6, 1968. It is quite common for British booklet panes to be made up of two or more different denominations and colors.
Several other pieces of information can be gleaned from the strip. It was postmarked May 11th, 1970 (I think) and was used in Harrow and Wealdstone, Middlesex. Harrow and Wealdstone is a district in the outer suburbs of Northwest London, and is served by the London Underground rail network, and Middlesex is a now obsolete name for an area which was once a separate county, but was incorporated into Greater London in a realignment of counties around 1971. The denominations are in old pence, which became obsolete when the currency was decimalized in early 1971,and these stamps would no longer be valid for postage, so this is well within their time of use. And the value of one old penny, of which there were 240 to the pound, really illustrates what inflation has done to today's money, because there is now a 5 pound Machin stamp which represents 1200 times the face value of the humble one penny stamp shown here. Finally, the Machin portrait which first appeared on British stamps in 1967, is still in use virtually unchanged for 52 years.

Waddsbadds, your the grandson my grandfather wish he would of had... When I said nothing special I should of know I was about to eat my words... Thank you for the humbling...

I've got 3 more for you that have me baffled
1 has 2 dates but do not look like cancellations?

2nd has 3 stamps of same picture ..but maybe at different stages of it being designed?

Last I was told this was 1 of 27 royal wedding stamp worth 5 grand. Not exactly a game changer but would be nice to know should I get insurance on such stamps if it is true? is it true 1 0f 27 ??

Hi.
2nd : cut-out from a souvenir sheet issued in 1966( different stages of engraving indeed)
Sorry but they have no value at all.

The Egypt Royal Wedding stamp 1951 that is Worth 5 grand is the type in pale grey,(Crown & arabic scripts below).Yours are in black. ,so $20.00.There exists a type with the imperf stamp with black crown & arabic scripts...worth 5 Grand.Also a thick paper
type (imperf stamp)... 15 Grand.

The Ecuador stamp is a revenue/tax stamp for being used in 1943, but updated for its use in 1944. Again,
minimal value.
Why all the people that know nothing about stamps thinks that they've found a treasure? I know many stamp collectors, most of them are, intelligent and clever people...But, none of them has become rich by collecting stamps...
Most of us collect by the pleasure of knowledge, sharing our Love for stamps and its beauty.
Stamp collecting,just costs money to most of us. We don't expect to earn a líving out of it!

But...Keep on dreaming on a Golden pot by the rainbow...Dreaming, comes for free!

Curses, ...that is an excellent question. I think it has to do with horses. Really really really high horse. You see it's not right for people who specialize in horse stamps to passively agresivly put down people who collect cat stamps or hat stamps rate stamps or penny black stamps. Because where all on a treasure hunt. Some may be hunting that arcane geopolitical event that was small in size but grand historical context & that is a fine treasure but no greater then one of fiscal rarity after all if there was a ultimate rightous specialty money and value is the only prenciple you can not take away for a stamp with out value would be a stamp not worth making ironically can be the ones worth the most. In today's age. Careful on that high horse it's a long long fall-wink ps typing on phone micro keyboard not worth efort to correct my fat fingered mispellings...

And this is where you are wrong. This is like saying other people ought to take up collecting art in hopes that they may one day find a painting by a master at a yard sale. Or that people ought to take up fishing in hopes of one day landing a record setting fish. Hobbies offer intrinsic value.

You have completely missed the point of our hobby, and this is why you think that people are pushing back.

Philately has much that we can guarantee to a new hobbyist including learning history, learning about other cultures, and comradery. But we can never guarantee that anyone will find a 'treasure'. If folks want a chance to become a millionaire without work and study, then lottery tickets are a better approach.

Obviously your expectations were that the material you are showing was high value. Do not shoot the messenger.

Oh brother

Eye4sea, by now, it's clear that you know how to write...But, I would advise you to take some reading leasons. Because, my nickname it's not "Curses", but "Cursus".
The "Cursus Publicus" was the name of the Roman Post; which we, in old Europe, still can recall. I don't know elsewhere...
So, it has nothing to do with horses, and all the trouble that you got into putting a lot of words together, loses its sense. If any time has got something near it...

P.S. By the way, I collect UK stamps, and I own a very fine Black Penny.
