Chrus - hello. You need to look at the site rules. You can't offer to sell at this stage. Scan the stamp and you'll get some advice on selling.

Your post has no information on its condition: a scan of front and back. Without such information, any indication of its value is speculative.

Hi chrisdc1976,

SG 16 was printed in emerald green and dull green.
One color sells for less than 1% of the other.

To sell your stamp as the expensive color, you need to send it to a recognized authority to be expertised. Color cannot be proven by photos or scans, only in person.

You will be charged for this service.

If the expert finds your stamp is the more expensive color, the fee is a percentage of the SG catalog value.

If it is the less expensive color, you will be charged a basic fee that, in this case, will be far more than your stamp is worth.

Also, most collectors will not pay full SG catalog due how SG determines their catalog value.

Finally all flaws, no matter how trivial, will be noted and the value will be drastically reduced, often at least 50% for each flaw.
