   You may have done well! It does happen sometimes when one buys stamps   
   outside their country of origin.   
      
   The value of the high value "castles" depends entirely on their   
   watermarks. The better ones are those of 1955 with the St Edward's   
   Crown watermark.They appeared again in 1959-63 with the Multiple   
   Crowns watermark, and finally in 1967-68 with no watermark!   
      
   Check yours again!
