I have some stamps, half penny, one penny, seven pence and loads more old ones. I have no idea how much these are worth or what they are? Does anyone know how I can find out? Thanks, Lisa. (Im looking to sell them).

Thanks, but I need pics to match my stamps up to as I havent got a clue. There arent many pics on the website! Cheers though, Lise.

Any good newsagent will stock the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue of British Stamps. It's a cheap-ish (under £5, last time I looked) paperback affair which gives a good basic guide to the value of British Stamps, FDCs, PHQs etc. It's updated yearly, so if the new one is due, they may have sold out of the old issue.

I should warn you, though, stamps such as those you describe are not worth much at all and even if they do have a reasonable face value, it's hard to realise even a fraction of that from a stamp dealer.

Lise,

Could you post brief descriptions on here?

eg. Monarch (if they're British), colour etc.

Values will be determined by condition. Have they been carefully mounted using the correct hinges? Are they complete with full perforations? Have they been handled carefully, and are they grease free? Are they used or unused? Is there a full set of a series?

ok ill try my best.!

Firstly all the stamps have been used and are on the corners of old envelopes. Varying in condition from all curled up to neat and undamaged apart from being stuck on the envelope. Some have stamps over the top, others dont.

1) approx 40 stamps with Queen Elizabeth II some with the 'ER' printed,some without. All colours,red brown, green, purple, orange, darkblue, and one light blue (4d). All ranging in value highest - 4d i think.

2) approx 50 green halfpenny George V. Some in rows stuck on envelope max 3 in row. This row has three sheffield stamps on.

3) Machin (?) three Green 12p, one 4d black, one 4d red, one blue.(dark blue)

4) approx 50 George V, red, one penny.

5) approx 15 George V brown green and orange, mauve, black,stamps. various values.


6) approx ten various coloured george (something?) stamps. sorry!


7) various interesting stamps about 15. Listers antiseptic Surgey, Lincoln 5 cents, (the only american stamp) , 2 large Elizabeth second stamps red 2 1/2 d,ulster picture stamp, christmas stamp, (5d) etc.
