Hi Richard
The stamp is listed in my 2007 S.G.Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps 1840-1952.They list it as F16 and guess what it's value according to Gibbons is £4-00 ?????
I think we need someone with an updated Barefoot's Commonwealth Catalogue to see if there is any change in value.
I think Lee has just got a new copy ,she would be the one to ask.

According to the Consumer Price Index, something that cost $1.04 in 1984 costs $2.30 today.
So, a price of a crisp $5.00 bill of 1984 converts to about $11.50 today, except for petrol at the pump. The pump price of gasoline is so subject to speculation, politics and threats of war it is on its own track.
Using the same charts, $2.08 in 2007, converts to about $2.30 in 2012, so I think that something listed at £4.00 ought to be around £4.50 today. And with the £/$ being $1.60 to one, a little over $7.00 should be fair.
Lee,
Can you tell me the Barefoot price for St.Lucia this stamp.
Also, cancel looks like a postal cancel rather than a revenue. Nice smack-on-nose.
Thanks.
