   Hi,   
      
   If you are referring to the GB stamp (not the commonwealth or colonies),   
   I believe this set is an issue of only 1 stamp. But it may only worth around   
   3x the face value since the qty issued is enormous (12p should be the   
   1st class local postage at the time of issue).   
      
   Best Regards,   
   LaBird (Benny).
