Unitrade values most used stamps at 20c each for this period. However the full strikes of CDS cancels should be worth a premium, especially for socked-on-the-nose, as the vasy majority of stamps from this time were cancelled with wavy lines. Consequently we estimate the value at $6. The stamps offered here grade 75-84 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 35/60, 40/60, 44/60
