I got this Austrian stamp from around 1919-1920, and stampworld says the value depends highly on the colour. If grey it is 0,25. If blackish grey it is 200...a big difference! Who can tell me which one I have?
When checking for value, also look at the condition of the stamp.
I am sorry to state, just as is the case with the 1865 GB 4d, this stamps is what is called a space-filler. It is badly damaged and would be worth very little even if it had been the blackish grey one. Only if the stamp is extremely rare, will a stamp in this state command a bit of money.
As others have noted, stamp condition is a key determinant of value.
While it's exciting to discover a "diamond" within a mixture, believe a good rule of thumb is to assume a stamp is the more common (less valuable) item until proven otherwise (often through the aid of experts).
