Value Of Scott#127 In A Poor State ?

what others think for the value of this #127

$2.00 to $4.00.





Edit:

I agree with John Becker below. I based my estimate on what I see. If you obtained a certificate stating it is in fact a 127, then the price would go up some. However, I doubt it would be worth a certificate expense.

First, I would believe it to be Scott 116 with a pressed-out grill, rather than a 127.

dear @John Becker I do my best to check for that I didnt find any trace for grill also it is from a very old collection I think at those days no need to play that game and it is in a very poor grade not a treasure.

You keep posting and posting asking for value. Are you trying to find something to sell?

You can find a stamp dealer and take you whole group to them for an offer. Otherwise you can mail the material to a deal for an offer. Understand the offer from the dealer will be lower, much lower than the "value prices" you are getting here on the SCF.

How much did you pay for this collection? That is a good guide for what the value of your collection is.

You can also just list all of the photo you have taken on ebay and sell them as a group. There you can at least charge for shipping so you are not paying for shipping on this small group.

thanks @Parcelpostguy.

@Parcelpostguy. things didnt work like that I ask to here others opinion by that way you learn more and also train your mind thats firstly also I sell stamps here in egypt and also buy by that way I feel the hobby I do that in world wide classic stamps by that why I got knowledge about the whole world stamps .

I would bet the cost of a certificate by any standard US organization that they will say this is a 116. Regardless, the condition is so poor that it is virtually unsellable as any Scott number.

We are not saying anyone pressed out the grill to try to pass the stamp as a 127. If the grill is pressed it is a likely result of a collector trying to flatten out all of the damaged areas as best as possible. The side-effect is a harder to see grill.





If you are buying , selling or trading, the value will be set by those who want your items. You local market place will likely be far different from what is said on a board in the USA about USA stamps (or Canada).

@Parcelpostguy I understand what you want to say about this stamp but not every stamp and every collector will ask for a certificate in case of a damged stamp so in this situation he will follow his way thats my opinion.
for the other part of your opinion I will tell you something every trader here in egypt know the prices here is about 0.1 for the same item in us for the high and moderate value stamps then it rise gradually for the cheap ones as an example if an item you sell an item on ebay for 30 dollar here it will average between 3 to 5 dollar.

The best rule of thumb is to list it on ebay and let the market set the price. Then when it sells the stamp was worth that amount that day to that collector. As for it being a 116 or the 127 make your best guess and post it as questionable. Then let the buyer make up their own mind. The stamp is in poor condition but I have seen worse sell on ebay. Someone is willing to add it to their collection or stock book. Best of luck with your stamp.

thanks dear @Uknjay you got another point of view and I think you spot a light with great extent of rightness.

This is a 116, the grill is just above the left half of where it says "no grill".

i agree. clear grill makes it a 116. value is what someone will pay for it in that condition.

dear @revcollector and @m and m I see what you mean and it is a possibility but by close eye it like scratches on the paper so I didnt made an opinion any other way to be sure if we cant see a grill even faint.

No, it is a fact. There is a grill.
