Valuation:
For this stamp-issue the values vary widely depending on rarity, colour variety, mint vs used, and whether on‐cover. For example:
The rare 2½d “Prussian Blue” variety (SG456a) is described as “one of the most desirable stamps of the reign” and with used examples fetching thousands of £. 
A standard used 1935 Silver Jubilee set (without the major rarity) may be worth modest amounts (under £50) in typical used condition. 
Because your item is a 1½d brown on cover with dated cancel it carries added postal-history interest, but it’s not one of the ultra-rare error varieties. A fair market estimate (UK) might place it in the range £40-£90 depending on condition, clarity of cancel, and appeal to collectors.
Given the wear on the envelope flap and moderate condition, a conservative valuation might be £50.

Additional Notes / Tips for Listing:
In the description emphasise the cancel: “Denbighshire 4 August 1935” (if you can fully read the town name, include it) — clear dated postmarks on covers increase interest.
Share multiple high-resolution photos: front showing stamp & cancel, envelope didge, flap condition, back of envelope.
Mention condition honestly: note flap tear, any toning or creasing, and that the cover is priced accordingly. That builds trust.
Use keywords: “1935 Silver Jubilee”, “King George V”, “1½d Brown”, “Denbighshire cover”, “postal history”, “on cover”, etc.
If possible, research the recipient “King George Hospital, Woodbury Park, Ilford” – any interesting historical link may help interest.
Clearly state: No certificate included (unless you have one) and buyers should satisfy themselves.
