The world's 10 rarest stamps.
To illustrate the rate of appreciation of the Brit Guiana 1856
the following image I am about to post, rates it at GBP 20,000 Interestingly, the "XLSR" (cough,cough Excelsior) booklet was printed in North Wales in 1953 It was an exact copy of the EH Harris booklet of the US and printed under approval. It was purchased in Perth in 1953 from Sands and McDougall's Central Hay Street Perth. In the coming days, I'll post images just one year later of the top 118 rarest stamps, which has the Brit guiana at US$100,000. So, the top 10 (1953) http://cjoint.com/data/gfh5zfAqLD.htm |

The world's 10 rarest stamps.
wait!..... there's more. In a slick piece of chicanery, the "top 118 rarest stamps" that I was going to follow up on (Life Magazine June 28th 1954) What's that I spy? near the edge is a "Moluccas" issue, a darn Cinderella. then in the middle of the cover spread, I spy Jind India, Navanagar India and Jhalawar India......What! no Travancore! as you say, obviously rubbish. I'll post the item, if I am bored one day. "Asia-translation" I don't see Barwani SG 18da in that list, Rodney. Obviously it's rubbish. Tony of the Antipathies |

In defence, it did say "some" of the rarest.
by default, would include one of the most recognisable postmarks in philately. "Tony Clayton" No mention of the tre skilling yellow error of colour of Sweden |

"rodney" I'll post the item, if I am bored one day. The cover 1954 http://cjoint.com/data/gfoqaiddCX.htm BTW, it is of some note, the two areas that defeated the collecting tsunami, the great Philip von Ferrary, in collecting every stamp worldwide, were the Indian states, and South Australia. |

Rarity & Price. Was: The world's 10 rarest stamps.

... Tony Clayton found these unused words: No mention of the tre skilling yellow error of colour of Sweden Then you have to dump in the 'Abnormals' of the Victorian GB. There are far fewer of each of them than the tre-skilling! Rarity != Price !!! I suppose that "!=" means "not equal", notation that originates in the C programming language. Indeed, some stamps are more desired than others, for different reasons, and not only dependently on their rarity. For example in countries with richer stamp collectors, that countries stamps are usually more expensive, which is perfectly understandable from the economic point of view. If we make an analogy with the price of paintings, a domain where the prices are veeery different, even if each painting is usually unique, we see again that here the rarity is not the main reason that drives prices. Of course, if a painter became famous and he left less paintings, then his paintings are more expensive due to their rarity. One good example is Vermeer, with some stamps that reproduce his work shown on my 12 years old page: http://www.artonstamps.org/Art-Galle...er/vermeer.htm -- Victor Manta ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

The number of stamps printed in the wrong color is unknown. {wiki, et al. on the tre skilling] The number found may still be 'one', but the number of the total possible abnormals [of each type] is known. Straws and clutching come to mind. 'One known' still remains less than the known number of abnormals. -- Tony Clayton Coins of the UK : http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk Sent using RISCOS on an Acorn Strong Arm RiscPC ....
