The next stamp in this series is the 1 Cent Queen Victoria. It came in only one shade, Brown Red. 4,610,000 were ordered. In very fine condition, it fetches up to $1,000 ($800 US). If it has a ‘water mark” on it, than the price can quadruple!

Thanks to @papa-pepper for creating these logos for @daveks!
I love stamps! These are really nice ones. It's interesting
that they issued that one cent Queen Victoria in three
shades of yellow and orange.
Wouldn't you LOVE to get your hands on a couple of
any of these stamps!? I would!
These ones are from my father’s collection. It’s a lot of fun going through his stamp books!
Good post @daveks. There was time when stamps were very much used but now they are being used on limited scale.
That is true indeed!
