Both the first two cancels are scarce, selling for $10-$30 each on common stamps of the period, and this is a premium issue. The #5 stamp does have a diagonal crease and some rough perfs, and the 2.5d also has some light creases. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibbons lists the basic stamps at 42 GBP. Based on this, the condition and the scarcity of the cancels, we would estimate the value of the lot at $40.  The stamps offered here grade between 60, 65 and 65 as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentering\/Margins: 30\/60, 35\/60\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaper Freshness: 5\/5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: 5\/5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImpression: 5\/5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5\/5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerforations: 5\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCancel: 10\/10, 8\/10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustment for above faults: -10 points\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brixton Chrome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56829064052896,"sku":"Lot-297-March-18-2026","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/7716\/9506\/files\/20260318_297001.jpg?v=1773423779","url":"https:\/\/brixtonchrome.com\/products\/lot-293-rhodesia-c-1896-1897-waterlow-arms-issue-a-group-of-son-diamond-grid-and-cds-town-cancels-copy-2","provider":"Brixton Chrome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
