Can you tell the difference between stamps that are worth
a "pretty penny" from those that are only worth
a few pence?
Take a look

Just for fun : Example 1
| Below are two, left margin Cylinder blocks
of 6 stamps (a cylinder block allows collectors to identify
easily a particular stamp type, manufacturing process
and known defects, with accuracy)
One of the blocks has a catalogue value of £500.00
and the other a considerably less catalogue value of £2.00 – can
you tell the difference?
|
image 01: Is this the block that is catalogued
at £500,
or |
image 02: ... is this block catalogued
at £500? |
Answer: The difference is purely the cylinder
number in the top margin and the quantity of stamps that
would have been made from each one. |
 |
image 01: The cylinder number that this block is from
reads 9A.7B.
|
 |
image 02: The cylinder number
that this block is from reads 7A.6B.
