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

Stumbled on a few France revenues today and most were rather common ones. I do not officially collect France revenues but for some reason I cannot resist keeping some. The exception is this one, the first 1864 Napoleon III designed by Alfred Barre that I have come across. This one was not fiscally used till 1872. It is an imperf stamp as issued. I do not see many listed for sale so I suspect they are not that common. Maybe Stan stainlessb can shed some light on how common they are.

COMMERCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CE)
The proportional stamp duty on the effects of commerce established by the law of February 11, 1791 was first covered using stamped papers (whole tax). It was necessary to wait for the law of June 11, 1859 to that also authorized the use of figurines mobile to pay the stamp duty proportionnel on drafts coming from abroad and from our (French) colonies where the stamp duty had not yet been established. These stamps were issued on January 18, 1860. Subsequently, the use of movable stamps was extended to warrants (January 1, 1863), then to all of the commercial paper (February 19, 1874).
1864. (Decree of January 23, 1864.)
“Napoleon III Laureate” of Barre. Large vertical format. Gray, gray-brown or brown, and red overprinted values. No tooth- (Imperforate).
your 1 Franc 50c, 2000 - 3000F Yvert #CE 33 in 2000, used CV 40 €. This is approximately the median for most stamps in this series.
There are some varieties, but from what I can tell your's is not one of them.
Nice stamp. i do not have any of these!
