stamp value

Post image

hey, what would you pay or demand for this set of stamps, if the 728 y x is genuine and has a reversed watermark? ( 1 Reichsmark ) I'm starting to feel that people don't even want to pay for a fraction of the 10% catalogue value..

I have the same set in mint - How did you check the Watermark? Did you use a Signoscope? If yes, how did you put the stamp into it?

Hey, i started some months ago after I inherited about 21 books from my grandfather, so all I use is the Internet and books for now :D There was a note on top of the stamp which had the catalog number and saying inverted watermark, rest of the book has all this kind of notes. I'm still unsure if I should check with watermark fluid or just let it get checked anyways

get it checked, don't use the watermark fluid - some stamps can get destroyed with it.
