💰 Collector Value
Like most modern topical stamp issues from smaller Commonwealth nations (often referred to as “sand dune” issues by some collectors, though the quality can be high), these stamps were produced primarily for the collector market rather than for postal use. This means they are very common in mint (Mint Never Hinged/MNH) condition.
- Individual Stamps: Single stamps from the main set are usually priced very low, often between $0.50 and $2.00 USD each in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition.
- Complete Set (Stamps): A complete set of the regular stamps is generally inexpensive, typically selling for between $4 and $10 USD.
- Souvenir Sheets (SS/MSS): The miniature sheets might sell slightly higher than individual stamps, generally in the $1.50 to $5.00 USD range each.
