Valuation & Price Recommendation:

Based on market listings for this stamp:

A single mint never-hinged 34p value of this issue is listed around £1.85 on eBid for an NHM example.

Another listing shows this stamp offered for around £0.70 in mint condition at a retail stamp dealer.

Given you have a sheet of 6 with margin/selvage, which adds value above a single stamp, you may reasonably list the item around £8 – £12 (i.e., ~£1.50-£2.00 each plus margin bonus) as a “buy it now” price.

For auction, a starting bid of £4-£5 with a reserve or none depending on your comfort might be appropriate.

Recommended Listing Price:

Buy It Now: £10.00

Auction Option: Start at £5.00, no reserve or reserve at £8.00.

I have verified the issue is the 1987 Sir Isaac Newton set, 34p value, printed by Harrison & Sons.

The margin/selvage including the colour/light-control bars is often desirable to collectors.

Condition matters: show clear photos of the full sheet, the margin including plate/colour bar, gum side, perforations, and centering.
