Chapter 468 The Legendary Blue Penny

******************

After taking the stamp album from Belinda, Jin Muchen began to check it carefully.

As expected, after Belinda said this, he really discovered the difference between this stamp.

Among these stamps, the swan was placed in the right place, but the words "Western Australia" printed on the upper and lower borders of the swan and the one-penny stamp were indeed printed upside down.

The words of Western Australia were originally supposed to be above the swan's head, but now they appear at the swan's feet. The words of one penny stamps appear on the swan's head, and the fonts are all reversed.

This is the first time Jin Muchen has discovered the flaws of this stamp. He felt something was wrong with the stamp before, but he was not an expert in this field.

Secondly, it was because he was in a special environment like the ghost market at that time. Although his eyesight was indeed great and his lack of light was not enough to be a problem that bothered him, he was not an expert in stamps after all.

So he didn't see these subtle differences at that time, and he had read so many identical stamps before, and was a little mentally exhausted, so he didn't have time to observe them carefully.

It is precisely because of these multiple factors that he did not discover such a mistake as soon as he got the stamp.

Fortunately, I met a philatelic enthusiast like Belinda here again, otherwise he might have missed the swan stamp.

Originally, the jewelry on the Blue Swan stamp was not very good. He originally planned to find someone to verify it after returning to the United States and then take action.

If Belinda had not pointed out the differences between these stamps at this time, I'm afraid that these swans would have turned around and made a move like a big shot.

"Wow, the swan, it's true when you look at it, but it's not the swan that prints incorrectly, but these words!"

He sighed, and Belinda opposite him nodded with a smile.

"Yes, it's not these swans that are wrongly printed, but these words."

"Should stamps like this be valuable?"

Jin Muchen put down the stamp in his hand with a little excitement and asked Belin to reach it.

Belinda also said before that such inverted swan stamps are quite famous in the circle of philatelic enthusiasts. Moreover, before his eight inverted swan stamps, a total of fifteen such inverted swan stamps were found in the world.

Such a small number, it should be very precious, right?

"Well, is this? It's hard to say, it depends on the wishes of enthusiasts. After all, this is a stamp issued in Australia, not a stamp issued in the United Kingdom or the United States, so although the number of existence is rare, its value is still very high. It is estimated that this kind of stamp has not been officially auctioned for about 30 years. It last appeared at an auction in New York in 1983, when it sold at a price of 37,500 US dollars. More than 30 years have passed, and it is really hard to say how much it can be worth."

The data that Belinda said immediately made Jin Muchen realize that it seemed that she was not only an expert in ancient coins, but also an expert in stamps.

No wonder the jewel spirit on this stamp is so weak. It turns out that the last time it was filmed was more than 30 years ago, so he is worth a lot now.

More than 30 years ago, it could be worth more than 30,000 US dollars. But more than 30 years have passed. Considering the factors such as inflation, the over-issuance of currencies around the world in recent years, and the increase in people's demand for collections, the current market price of this stamp is no problem.

When Jin Muchen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

However, he still felt that this should not be the bottom line of this philatelic. After all, when he discovered this philatelic, he had a random stroke, and the strong black light emitted by the philatelic pressing under the cardboard box.

The dazzling black light is not very suitable for the faint blue light emitted from the overturned swan stamp.

There must be a mystery in this philatelic.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen looked at the stamp album in his hand and began to sway hard, and then began to flip through the stamp album forward.

Seeing his actions, Belinda widened her eyes: "Hey, Jin, what are you doing? Although many of these stamps are not the most precious ones, they have a history of hundreds of years. Such stamps are very fragile. If you shake like this, be careful..."

"I don't know why, I always feel that there is something else in this mailing album..."

As he spoke, a yellow light suddenly flashed, and it turned out to be a yellow kraft paper envelope that fell out of the mezzanine of the philatelic.

Jin Muchen's eyes lit up and he quickly picked up the envelope. The envelope was sandwiched between the two pages in the middle of the philatelic, and he could see it clearly.

I don’t know when this philatelic was produced. The covers on both sides were hard paper shells, and the middle was paper. It seems that the time when this philatelic was produced, there was no plastic yet.

Those stamps are stuck on each page of paper. These papers are very hard and thick hard board paper, and their properties are somewhat similar to the raw paper of postcard cards.

Because there are many small gaps cut on the paper sheet to jamm and fix the stamps, there are many hard boards in the middle that are glued together in pairs, so there is a hollow part between them.

It turned out that Jin Muchen understood that the person who made this stitch album did this to protect the stamps and prevent too many stamps from being stuck on a piece of paper. But he did not expect that these hollow parts actually had other mystery, and some more precious things could be hidden in the middle.

At this time, Belinda looked at the yellow envelope that fell from the middle of the philatelic and stopped talking. Jin Muchen picked up the envelope, which was made of yellow kraft paper.

However, the color is a bit dark, and it looks like it has been a long time ago. Moreover, the kraft envelope is very thin and crisp. No wonder the original owner of this stipend hid him.

He carefully opened the envelope in front of Belinda, and then a piece of paper fell out of it.

He picked up the piece of paper and found that it was actually a stamp with a blue bottom, but the printing technique seemed to be not very good, because there were many stamp patterns and the heads were printed through, as if it had been used too much ink.

Anyway, you can see the queen statue on the front of the stamp from behind these stamps.

Most of the stamps are patterned, like the Australian stamps he has seen before, and the front is printed with a bust of Queen Victoria.

However, the price is two-pence, and in the middle of the stamp, there is a cross-shaped postmark. Because it is old, the date in the middle of the postmark seems to be a little unclear.

However, this postmark made Jin Muchen feel very strange, as if it was a bit like the cross chapter of later Nazis.

He stared at the stamp blankly, wondering what he thought, because the strong jewel spirit flashed on the stamp made him a little dazzled.

It turns out that the black light I saw from this stamp album before was a stamp that came to this Bafanglian?

But then why did he flash black light? Jin Muchen couldn't figure it out.

But it doesn't matter if he can't figure it out. Isn't there an expert in philatelics sitting opposite him?

He smiled and raised his head, and was about to hand over the stamp in his hand to Belinda, but the one he saw Belinda was surprised.

At this time, Belinda was covering her mouth, looking at the stamps in his hand, her eyes dripping with surprise on her face!

What's wrong with her? She gave Jin Muchen a very elegant impression before. Except for the first time when she saw the box she took out, she never lost her composure like she is now.

"Hey! Belinda!"

He shouted softly, and Belinda let down her hand, her face flushed, and without waiting for Jin Muchen to react, she snatched the stamps in his hand.

"My God! What did I look at? Wow... Jin... You are the luckiest bastard I've ever seen..."

Belinda glanced at the stamp in her hand, then looked up at Jin Muchen, her eyes turned red, her face turned even more excited, and even said something swearing.

However, these swear words are not meant to be swearing, but just expressing their admiration for Jin Muchen's luck, and it also means that her relationship with Jin Muchen is one step closer.

"Uh... OK... I admit that my luck is a little better than others, but Belinda, can we put this aside first and talk about the Bafanglian stamp in front of us. Can you tell me what it is?"

Jin Muchen didn't know much about stamps, and most of the stamps issued by the British in the early years and the stamps issued by their colonies were of the same virtue, and the busts of Queen Victoria were printed on them.

It was really hard for him to figure out the difference between these stamps. The eight-sided family in front of him was obviously valuable. He wanted to understand the stamp, which was different from other stamps with the bust of Queen Victoria.

"Wow, this is the legendary blue penny, a blue penny that is more precious than black penny. You don't know this?"

Belinda glanced at Jin Muchen and said with a angrily voice. Jin Muchen scratched his head, "What a black penny or a blue penny, I really don't know!"

You said black pennies, I have heard of them, but blue pennies? What the hell is this?

More precious than black pennies? Wouldn't that be worth a lot of money?
