Gibraltar - Postal rates?
Does anyone know the exact express rate from Gibraltar to UK for 2003 ?
Or -- if not -- then the similar rate from UK to Gibraltar? A clue could be 3,00 GBP, which was the price at the time of purchase directly from Gibraltar Post. If possible, I would also like to know today's commercial value of the stamp. The question concerns specifically the NVI stamp issued by Gibraltar on 21st June 2003 (SG 1151, Scott 941, Michel 1049). The stamp is unlisted in my SG standard. It features Big Ben and a swift. I have the mint stamp and FDC (and a buyer), who wants it for the express rate when issued. Images of both items are available at http://slaniastamps.heindorffhus.dk/frame-Gibraltar.htm (Scroll to bottom of page). Any help would be greatly appreciated :-) Mette |

The only issue listed for June 21 was Prince William's 21st birthday. Technical Description YEAR PACK 2003 Issued 1st December 2003 Contains all stamps issued in 2003 Design: Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau 2003 Stamps HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation – 20th February Europa 2003 (Poster Art) – 3rd March 100th Anniversary of Powered Flight – 31st March 1700th Anniversary of St.George – 23rd April HRH Prince William’s 21st Birthday – 21st June Mushrooms of Gibraltar – 15th September Enlargement of the EU – 15th September Christmas 2003 – 17th November This is a service-denominated (for Express mail to the UK) stamp with increasing effective face value as postal rates rise. The initial price in 2003 was GBP 3.00 . It still is. Current US retail price is : USD $12 for a mint stamp and USD $15 for a first day cover. However, the Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau is still selling this stamp at GBP 3.00 and the FDC GBP 3.30 Blair |

The difference between the Gibraltar post office price and US retail price is certainly significant ! But the buyer shall have his item for the post office price. A true bargain, I dare say. In the future he will not be handled with velvet gloves by me ;-) Mette |
