GB 1847-54 Queen Victoria 6d Mauve SG 58, CV=1000 GBP Not one of my own listings and I have never seen this stamp for real. But a wealthy member here might find of interest! http://www.my-little-auctions.com/a...a-6d-Mauve-SG-58-CV1000-GBP&auction_id=153593
I have no recent S.G.-cat. However if you have look you will see that there is a note ahead of these stamps: "Prices: The prices quoted are for cut square stamps with average to fine embossing." The shown stamp is cut to shape.But even this had been done badly. Michel quotes cut to shape stamps to about 5 % of cut squares. This would mean roughly GBP 50.-,S.G. As the cut touches the design in different places and taking the overall appearance of that stamp into account,I think that it would be well payed with about GBP 20.-. So,no wonder,that there is no bid on it.
