Nice British CW posts as always, Michael ( Londonbus1)! There is an entire thread about the Ceylon CAVE Overprints here: www.stampcommunity.org/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=54834It seems to be something in purpose akin to a perfin. Something to do with being a theft deterrent from my brief scan of the other thread. |

Also, I just took a look at first post again, Michael ( Londonbus1 ), and I think you made a typo: Ceylon, SG 4 is a 4-pence dull rose imperforate stamp with a CV of £4500 in used condition. I think yours is Ceylon, SG 18, half-penny dull mauve, perf 12-1/2 with CV £180. Still, a very nice stamp! CVs shown are from a 2014 edition of the SG CW & British Empire Stamps 1840-1970.  |

Just finished mounting up my Ceylon stamps. Most of the first pages are very empty (something I need to work on), and things don't start looking more populated until after the King George V pictorials. Here are afew of my favorite pages and/or sets.  I really love this New Constitution set. Not expensive by any stretch, but nice colors. And who doesn't love bi-colored stamps?  Some WAR STAMP overprints  Had to do a bit of research on these commercial overprints. Sort of like perfins. Will have to see if I can get some more to populate this page.  |

The CV is only for the stamp with postal cancel. This stamp is fiscally used. So, the real market value will be just a fraction of the CV.  |

What is the difference between a postal cancel (this stamp) and a fiscally used ? René p.s. I should have not discussed CV.......it all depends what reference you use (catalog) - My intent was to thank Londonbus1 Scottt 2019 Specialized |

Fiscal cancels are purple, which is what this stamp has.

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Today had me going through the envelope of Ceylon stamps. This is another country that I have quite an accumulation but I did at least find a perf variety I was missing from the 1935 George V set and also this Queen Victoria 15 cents with a lovely clean postmark with the letter A. I suspect there is a listing somewhere for Ceylon but my search so far has not turned up one for these early ones. What I found were for ring cancels with actual names.
