Unitrade values this at $4.5, for a normal VF used example without the re-entry. Our estimate of the value, in the condition offered is $10. The stamp offered here grades 75 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 35/60

Colour: 5/5

Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10

Despite no varieties being listed on this stamp, other than the line in the "5", I have found that there are at least two versions of re-entries in the upper spandrels, a buoy in the water variety and a detached spire variety on the clock tower. The shade varies from a pure deep blue, to other dull blue shades. Gum is always a semi-gloss sheen, but the colour varies from brownish yellow to cream.
