You are almost correct Jacques sorry I too nearly fell for the Guiana bit but I am afaid a spoke to quickly again the correct answer is Gyuana (South America) and NOT british Guiana

MOVING ON TO QUESTION 4

 

Hi there

 

The correct answer is the British Guiana 1 cent black/magenta ( SG 23 ) of which only one example exists. Last on the market in 1980. See stanley gibbons Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps 1840-1970 on page 112.

 

If only one stamp exists and this makes it extremely rare then one could also look at Great britain sg 266a ( 2 penny Tyrian Plum ) of which only one example exists and this I think is in the Queen's collection.

I stand corrected twice over thanks for the input and invaluable info. My turn to sit in the corner with the dunce hat on

Hello Angela

 

I admit being wrong. I honestly thought that it is the British Guiana FOUR CENT!

 

By the way, I have read somewhere that the current owner of this stamp is serving a jail sentence! Can anybody add substance to this? Are you allowed to sell on BidorBuy while in jail?

 

Regards

Even if he were to sell it on BoB you and I certainly could not scrape the money together to buy it, but sadly you have been knocked off your first place pinnicale. We would have to really find a stinker of a question to try to get you back to top of the class.

Hi Angela

 

I have a Penny Black with no margins, never before seen on BoB and will never be seen, does this count?
