Services BUYING BUYING BUYING!! We are keen
to buy quality stamp and coin accumulations and collections. We also provide valuation and buying services, at your home.
We sell via direct venue's, (antique fairs etc.) mail order, email and telephone order. We welcome wants lists. We are
happy to make home visits especially for those who find it difficult to get out. We are also pleased to put together investment
portfolio's from £2,000 upward.(however it must be rembembered that investments can go down as well
as up, even though many stamps are perfoming well at present).
Stamp grades We strive to describe our stamps
as accurately as possible. We use the same levels of grading as may be found in most catalogues (SG, Scott etc). Grades also
vary from some issues to other issues. For example the GB surface printed stamps normally with 'killer' obliterator
postmarks attract a hefty premium for fine circular date stamp postmarks. If in doubt, please ask, we are here to help!
UMM= Unmounted, (or MNH Mint
Never Hinged), never mounted. LMM=Light Mounted Mint, light mount mark on
reverse, usually found on older stamps. HMM= Heavy mount/hinge mark or attached
via stamp adhesive in one corner MF=Mint Filler. Mint stamp with faults
(short perfs, thins, crease etc) but still an acceptable spacefiller VFU
Superb=four very large margins on imperf, very light or Circular Date Stamp (CDS) postmark.
VFU= Very Fine Used, four large margins on imperf stamps, light postmark.
FU=Fine Used, four margin on imperf, obliterator or heavier postmark. Good or Sound Used= ok but may have a heavyish postmark, no faults. Used=
no faults but a little grubby. UF=Used Filler, is visibly presentable but
has faults (thin, short perfs etc). SCANS We are pleased to be able to provide scans of any particular item
