The 6c rose carmine has a sideways watermark and June 1909 German Seapost East Africa Line cancel. The 3c green has a Ghakichaki CDS cancel, dated August 29, 1908. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on my online research the German seapost cancels generally sell for $20-$100, based on the value of the stamp and strike quality. This example would, in my opinion be in the $50 range. The Ghakichaki cancel is worth about $6. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGibbons lists the basic stamps at 3.1 GBP. Based on this, the condition, and the scarcity of the SON cancel strikes, we would estimate the value of the lot at $55.  The stamps offered here grade between 75-78 as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCentering\/Margins:  35\/60, 40\/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: 10\/10 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCancel: 10\/10, and 8\/10 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brixton Chrome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56830742397088,"sku":"Lot-316-March-18-2026","price":55.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/7716\/9506\/files\/20260318_316001.jpg?v=1773423780","url":"https:\/\/brixtonchrome.com\/products\/lot-313-trinidad-c-1883-1894-queen-victoria-1897-1906-1904-1909-britannia-keyplate-issues-a-selection-of-trinidad-small-town-son-cds-cancels-copy","provider":"Brixton Chrome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
