Cv Of 1 Pound Queen Elizabeth II Stamp

Hi guys. Need help in getting to know the CV for this stamp. It is in perfect condition never used totally new. Thanks

There were several printings of this series. First step is to establish which watermark - if any - is used

Here is watermark pic. I see crowns only

I guess its 1959 edition not tge earlier one #128533;. If experts can confirm.
I have the full set of this all have this saint edward crown reducing the value drastically

It is the "Crowns" watermark. There are three varieties of this.
If it is light cream paper, it must be a De La Rue printing. Stanley Gibbons CV 1998 was £ 95.
If it is the whiter paper, it would be £ 90, but then it could also be the Brradbury, Wilkinson printing that was priced at £ 8.
The De La Rue perf is ca. 11.8 on the vertical sides. That of Bradbury is between 11.9 and 12.0.
Bradbury stamps tend to have deeper engraving and more detail in the diadem than De La Rue ones.

Means I need to research more on this cause there is big difference between 90 n 9 pounds.
I have basically 4 of these in set. I was thinking to sell them so that I can buy some more lots and work on them if these are 90 pounds.

Cat value is one thing but you also need to look on ebay or equivalent and see what they are actually SELLING for. That is not necessarily the by it now price being asked by dealers. That should give you some idea as to their actual worth.

Also I assume that these are unmounted. If they have hinge marks that will drastically reduce the value.
