Value Estimate by Condition
The 6d value in this first issue is one of the key collectible stamps. The difference in price between used and unused, and between mint hinged and mint never hinged, is significant.
| Condition | Stanley Gibbons Catalogue Value (Approximate) | Real-World Sale Price (Observed) |
| Used | Around £130 GBP | Observed sales for “Fine Used” examples are often in the range of £20 – £30 GBP (around $25 – $40 USD). |
| Mint Hinged (MH) / Mounted Mint (MM) | Catalogue value is significantly higher, historically in the range of £550 GBP (as cited in one listing). | Sales for good quality Mint Hinged examples can range from £50 GBP up to a few hundred pounds, depending on centering and gum freshness. |
| Mint Never Hinged (MNH) | The catalogue value for MNH would be the highest, often 2-3x the MH price, potentially exceeding £1000+ GBP. | A fine, well-centered MNH example of a high-value classic stamp like this would be a major item and would fetch a very strong price at auction, often several hundred pounds or more. |
