Stamp valuation at Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht

The value of stamps or a collection is determined by various factors. During a valuation, our expert philatelic valuer will assess the condition, rarity and authenticity of the stamps in order to determine their value.

Rare stamps can be worth a great deal. It is therefore important to assess whether your entire album or collection is rare, or whether it contains any rare items. Stamps from before 1900, for example, stamps issued in limited editions, or stamps of which very few remain in circulation, can be worth a considerable amount, depending on their condition.

The condition of the stamps is also an important indicator of their value.  Are the edges still intact, is the printing authentic, and is the original gum still present? These are just a few examples of the factors used to assess condition. Mint stamps are often worth more than used stamps, unless other factors come into play. Our experts know what to look out for to ensure that your stamp albums or collection are assessed thoroughly and expertly in all respects. And they’ll be happy to guide you through this process.
