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!              Michael Meadowcroft              Michael Meadowcroft       Waterloo Lodge       72 Waterloo Lane       Leeds LS13 2JF       GB       Tel: +44 (0)113 257 6232              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
