💷 Price & Valuation Estimate

Because 2 Lire definitives of Italy are fairly common in used condition, especially with cancellations, their individual value is modest. I found an example listing on eBay: “Poste Italiane Foreign 2 Lire Stamp Used” priced at US $2 (≈ £1.48)

So one used 2-Lire stamp might typically fetch around £1 to £3 depending on condition, cancellation, centering, etc.

For your lot of 9, a reasonable “buy-it-now” listing might be:

Estimated individual (average) value: ~ £1.50

Total theoretical value (9 × £1.50): £13.50

But as a lot, to attract buyers, you’ll usually offer at a discount.

Suggested listing price (Buy It Now):

£10.99 to £13.99 (you could try £11.99)
