A week later these stamps were sold at a great premium. A New Zealand stamp some years ago was printed upside down, and it is now worth a large sum. Among English stamps tbe old red penny, with the platNo. 166, la valued ky collectors, and tbe small pink halfpenny, with plate No. 1. Is not worth lees than $20. It is said that the plate of the latter was broken soon after It came Into use and was never replaced. hence tbe value at tbe few itxmps printed from It It la always a question with amateurs whether to buy their stamps used or unused. But It Is safe on a great occasion, such as tbe -Jubilee or Exposition year, to bay them with tbe postmark.
