Great Britain 1902 King Edvard VII 2sh6p perfin
One of the most common form of unusual things in postage stamps are perfins. Some consider a stamp with a perfin seriously damaged, some (like me) collect them with passion. Below is an image of nicely used 1902 Great Britain King Edward VII 2sh6p stamp (Michel 115A, SG#261, Scott#139) with perfin.
Michel catalogues this stamp worth 60€, SG £150.00 and Scott worth US$140.00, so there’s plenty of room with current exchange rates. On eBay (or from any good GB seller) you can find pretty similar stamps than mine with half the catalogue price, I paid only 5€ for this. Items with superb quality are of course several times worth the catalogue.
I just wish I knew what the perfin Kld points to. If you know, please feel to reply.
