VALUABLE STAMPS.
RARE DOMINION ISSUES. [THE PEBSS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, November 28. A leading Wellington philatelist informed a reporter that the statement that there were only 16 copies of the rare first New Zealand penny stamp in existence was not correct, for, he said, there are at least two other pairs and twelve single copies of this stamp in the Dominion. The catalogue price is £6O each. He said that there were well over a hundred copies scattered amongst the world' 6 collectors, and considered that the value of £l5O placed upon them by Mr A. Brodie, the Auckland dealer who secured them, a fair one, if that pair was in fine condition. It was probable that, had there only been the number stated, the price would have been nearer £IOOO instead of £6O per copy. Two other philatelists concurred in the expert's opinion.
