Stamps as an Investment
Rare stamps are big business throughout the World. International demand for rare stamps keeps the value
continually rising. Rare stamps are saleable throughout the World; they can be purchased in one country with
the sure knowledge that there is a ready market for them in a completely different part of the World. So, with |
the growing lack of confidence in stocks, shares and other generally regarded ‘Safe Investments’ it must now
be recognised that rare stamps really can offer a secure and worthwhile investment. First of all, it is of course, |
essential to buy the right stamps at the right price. But what are the right stamps for investment? These days the
‘print run’ of stamps runs into many millions and a wise investor will seek either high value stamps prior to 1937, |
where it is known that the quantities of stamps printed is small and as a consequence the rarity level is high.Or
he could choose in invest in modern stamp issues displaying major printing errors in the design. These can be
most appealing and exact quantities discovered are generally known. For fifty years we have been acknowledged
leaders in supplying philatelic material for investment. Our unrivalled knowledge and resources in this field enable
us to provide the best possible service to the investor. All our material is guaranteed genuine in every respect and
all rare items are supplied with a Certificate of genuineness. Each porfolio supplied is tailored to meet individual |
us.

common, Here, one or two shortish perfs would
probably be acceptable, providing they were not
too short. Such a stamp with all its perforations
could command a premium over full catalogue
price, especially if it was also well centred. As the
gauge increases, however, the impact of short perfs
increases, so that a King George V ‘Seahorse’ with
one or two short perfs would probably carry a 20
per cent discount, any more than that and the price
would drop to half catalogue.

Booklet stamps
Damaged perforations are not only caused by
careless separation. Until very recently, most stamp
booklets were made up from reels of stamps, bound
into covers by stapling, stitching or gluing and then
guillotined to produce thefinished books. Inevitably,
this cutting was seldom totally accurate, resulting in
the majority of booklet panes being trimmed on be Seessue
at least one side. Prices for stamp booklets in the
Stanley Gibbons catalogues are for examples with
‘average’ perforations —that is, slightly trimmed; the
prices for booklet panes are for examples with full
perforations. If a pane of six has good perforations
at the top and side, but is trimmed along the foot,
then its value should be based on the three stamps
in the top row, the three stamps at the bottom
being virtually discounted.
A single stamp which only occurs in booklet
fl
panes, such as most of the definitive watermark
varieties of Queen Elizabeth Great Britain,
should also have full perforations. Trimmed
perfs bring the price down significantly and if
they are missing completely than even a scarce
variety would only merit a tenth of catalogue. One might expect to pay a premium fora

its infancy. Thus, poor centring would have a less

Cancellations: Early cancellation devices were
designed to ‘obliterate’ the stamp in order to prevent
it being reused and this is still an important objective
for today’s postal administrations. Stamp collectors, on

cancellation will depend upon the types of cancellation

‘Fine, by definition, will be superior to ‘Average’,
so, in terms of cancellation quality, if one begins by
identifying what ‘Average’ looks like, then one will be
half way to identifying ‘Fine’ The illustrations will give
some guidance on mid-19th century and mid-20th
century cancellations of Great Britain, but types of
cancellation in general use in each country and in
each period will determine the appearance of‘Fine’.
As for the factors discussed above, anything less
than ‘Fine’ will result in a downgrading of the stamp
concerned, while a very fine or superb cancellation Average
will be worth a premium.
Combining the factors: To merit the description
‘Fine, a stamp should be fine in every respect, but a
small deficiency in one area might be made up for
in another by a factor meriting an ‘Extremely Fine’
description.
Some early issues are so seldom found in what
would normally be considered to be ‘Fine’ condition,
the catalogue prices are for a slightly lower grade,
with ‘Fine’ examples being worth a premium. In such
cases a note to this effect is given in the catalogue,
while elsewhere premiums are given for well-centred,
lightly cancelled examples.
Stamps graded at less than fine remain collect-
able and, in the case of more highly priced stamps,
will continue to hold a value. Nevertheless, buyers
should always bear condition in mind.
Contents. The Catalogue is confined to adhesive
postage stamps, including miniature sheets. For
particular categories the rules are:
(a) Revenue (fiscal) stamps are listed only where they
have been expressly authorised for postal duty.
(b) Stamps issued only precancelled are included,
but normally issued stamps available additionally
with precancel have no separate precancel
listing unless the face value is changed.
(c) Stamps prepared for use but not issued, hitherto
accorded full listing, are nowadays foot-noted
with a price (where possible).
(d) Bisects (trisects, etc.) are only listed where such
usage was Officially authorised.
(e) Stamps issued only on first day covers or in
presentation packs and not available separately
are not listed but may be priced in a footnote.
(f) New printings are only included in this
Catalogue where they show a major philatelic
variety, such as a change in shade, watermark
or paper. Stamps which exist with or without
imprint dates are listed separately; changes in
imprint dates are mentioned in footnotes.
(g) Official and unofficial reprints are dealt with by

BISECTS. On 24 December 1940 authority was given, by Post Office 4 Castle Cornet and Edward the
notice, that prepayment of penny postage could be effected by using Confessor
half a British 2d. stamp, diagonally bisected. Such stamps were first
used on 27 December 1940.
The 2d. stamps generally available were those of the Postal
Centenary issue, 1940 (S.G. 482) and the first colour of the King
George VI issue (S.G. 465). These are listed under Nos. 482a and 465b.
A number of the 2d. King George V, 1912-22, and of the King George V
photogravure stamp (S.G. 442) which were in the hands of philatelists,
were also bisected and used.

The booklet panes consist of single perforated stamps with wide
margins all round intended to fit automatic machines designed for the
Great Britain 2s. booklets. They are therefore found with three margins
when detached from booklets or four margins when complete.
There was no postal need for the Yd. and 1%d. values as the
Yad. coin had been withdrawn prior to their issue in anticipation of
decimalisation. These values were only on sale at the Philatelic Bureau
and the Crown Agents as well as in the U.S.A.

Prior to the plates being printed from in Brisbane, damage occurred
to the 6d. plate in the form of a scratch across two adjoining stamps.
The position of the pair in the plate is not yet recorded. One joined
pair is known,
This flaw was not corrected until around 1869 when, after plate
cleaning, only faint traces remain. These are hard to see,

Printing of the Stamp Statute series was discontinued in early 1884.
The existing Stamp Duty range was initially supplemented by
postage stamps overprinted “STAMP DUTY” for those values where
the available fiscal design was considered to be too large to be easily
used on mail. These overprints were replaced by smaller designs
ld
inscribed “STAMP DUTY”.
Stamp Statute and Stamp Duty values which became valid for
postal purposes on 1 January 1884 have previously been listed in this
catalogue as Postal Fiscals. Under the circumstances this distinction
appears somewhat arbitrary and all such stamps are now shown in
the main listing. Used prices quoted are for examples with postal
cancellations. In some instances prices are also provided for fiscally
used and these are marked “F.C.

Nos. 215/92 were extensively used for fiscal purposes. Collectors

are warned against the many examples of these stamps which HALF
have been cleaned and provided with fake gum or forged cancels. (38)

for postal purposes. The Yad., 1d., 4d., 6d., 15., 5s. and £1 were issued
for fiscal purposes on 26 April 1871. The 10s. was added to the series
in June 1871, the £5 in September 1871, the 2s.6d. in July 1876 and
the 3d. in October 1879.
All values of the Stamp Statute series were reprinted in 1891 on
paper watermarked W 19 (5s., 10s., £1) or W 33 (others). The £5 was
pulled from the original plate, but the others were produced from
new electrotypes taken from the original dies.

The thick chalk-surfaced paper, used for the initial printing of the
1s,, 5s. and £1, was usually toned and had streaky gum. The April 1942
printing for the 1s. and 5s., which was mostly used for the “LANDFALL”
overprints, was on thin striated paper. Printings of the three values
between September 1942 and November 1946 were on a thick,
smooth, opaque ordinary paper.

No. $1 was issued as a result of a reciprocal arrangement between
the Bahamas and Canadian Post Offices, whereby the application of a
special delivery stamp from the country of destination would ensure
special treatment on arrival. Canadian special delivery stamps were
supplied to the Bahamas Post Office, but, there being no equivalent
in Bahamas, the current 5d. definitive was overprinted “SPECIAL
DELIVERY” and sent to Canada.
There were three printings from similar settings of 30 (6x5), and
each sheet had to pass through the press twice, The first printing
of 600 was on sale from March 1916 at four post offices in Canada;
85 Obverse and reverse of $100 Gold Coin Ottawa, Toronto, Westmount (Montreal) and Winnipeg; and was used
in combination with Canadian stamps and cancelled in Canada.
(Recess D.L.R.) Towards the end of 1916, however, the Canadian authorities decided
1968 (2 Dec). Gold Coins commemorating the first General 94 U.P.U. Headquarters and Emblem to leave the Bahamas stamps to be cancelled on arrival in Nassau.

2. In general, the word “SPECIAL” is further to the right in relation to
“DELIVERY”inthe second printing than the first or third, but this alone
should not be considered conclusive.
Our prices for No. $1 are for the second printing and any stamps
which can be positively identified as being from the first or third
would be worth about ten times (first) or four times (third) as much,
either unused or used. Examples on cover, posted at one of the four
eligible Canadian offices and with the special delivery stamp cancelled
in Canada, are very scarce.
All the errors appear to be from the second printing.

Opt Type 2 differs from Type 1 in having the two loops of the
“B” almost equal in size with wider internal dimensions. The Type 2
overprints are generally placed higher than Type 1. It is believed that
the two types were both supplied to Bangkok in May 1882.
The prices quoted for the overprint double errors, Nos. 3a, 15b,
17a and 20c, are for stamps showing two clear impressions of the
overprint. Examples showing partial doubling, on these and other
values, are worth a small premium over the price quoted for normal
stamps.
No.1 7b shows the edge ofthe central oval broken above the “O” of
“POSTAGE” It occurs on R. 10/5 of the lower right pane.
The use of these stamps ceased on 30 June 1885. Siam joined the
Universal Postal Union on 1 July 1885.

Stamps of India were used in Burma from 1854 and, after 1856,
individual examples can be identified by the use of the concentric
octagonal postmarks of the Bengal Postal Grcle of which the following
were supplied to Burmese post offices: 1875 type from Rangoon Cantonment Receiving House
From 1886 the whole of Burma wes united under the Crown and
the post offices were suppiied with Groular date stamps giving the
name of the town.
Most Indian stamps, both postage and official, issued during “
the period were supplied to post offices in Burma. None of the
imperforates printed by De La Rue have been seen however, and
