It looks to be just a fun collection. I'm not saying there isn't a rare stamp hidden somewhere, but based on these pictures it does not look to be anything special. Whilst thematic collecting is popular, it would have to have a lot more depth to be worth anything significant. Collections like this are often given to children to develop their interests, or given to charity shops. I don't think a dealer at a stamp fair would be too excited Sorry!

If we are talking about GB material, it is unlikely the mint stamps will be worth more than face value (apart from the Machin definitives which have recently been demonitized!). In fact, you may have seen on this Forum that people have sold mint commemorative stamps at below face value, to others wanting to use them for postage. First Day Covers are plentiful on eBay and unless they have really special cancellations, and are in perfect condition, they are probably only worth pence - if you can find a buyer. For a stamp collection to be worth serious money, the original owner needs to have spent serious money on it - but even then they could have been buying rubbish! (Yes, there are Binlords in the philatelic world!) They really need to have specialised and become experts in a particular area. If however, they were just collecting for fun, then this is how they got their pleasure from it, rather than thinking about it as a serious investment. So, does it look as if they have spent serious money on it? Bear in mind that in the 1970s a new set of stamps might have cost 40p every three months, so, you can't really expect these sets to have gone up much in value. Is the collection well set out? Are the stamps in chronological order or are they just set out as they were acquired? All this gives an impression as to how serious the collector was. These days there are not many stamp shops around, though there are a few stamp fairs, but these dealers are probably not very keen to buy the material I have described above. If you have any specific questions, I will try and answer them.

I wish I could take pictures as good as this!

I've had some interest, so I've tried taking pictures without the capsule top.

I've reduced the price to £2,050 (including Special Delivery) in order to give you something to dream about!

Both now sold - thank you to the buyers.

As long as it is genuine! It does seem odd that such a coin is so worn.
