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).
