3 Very Good Used examples from the 1851-1868 Numerals & Embossed Arms Issues. The 9kr is sound, but has the margin touching at top and too close on left side, given that full margins are 1mm. The 3kr is well centered, but has a small corner crease. The 4kr has slightly rounded corners at UL& LL, but otherwise are sound and presentable. 2022 Scott cat. $205. Our estimate of the value based on the condition is $51.

A note about grading and estimated values is in order. We use estimated values rather than catalogue values where the grade of the stamp is other than that contemplated by the catalogue, or there is an unlisted variety. In deriving the estimates we divide catalogue values by 2 for examples without gum, unless Scott gives a separate no gum value, and also by 2 for each grade that is below the catalogue standard of VF for Scott or fine for Unitrade. So, for example a stamp cataloguing $300 in Scott that is in VG condition will be estimated at $75, if it has OG, or at $37 if it is unused. If it is a split grade, then I take the midpoint between the two grades, so that for example a VG-F stamp is about 1/3rd of the value of a VF example.
