Valuation / Price Guidance:

A comparable mint (unused, original gum) example in very fine condition (SG 478) is priced around £199.99 in specialist stock listings.

However, your example lacks gum and has toning/adhesive marks, so its realistic “dealer / online” value is much lower.

A listing on eBay for a “10 Pence KG VI” mint example shows ~ US $3.79 (≈ £3.00) for a lower-quality piece.

Taking condition into account, a fair valuation might be between £10 to £25, depending on buyer interest and comparability.

Recommended “Buy It Now” Price:

£24.99 — a modest premium over valuation to allow some negotiation margin.

Auction Option:

Start at £9.99 with no reserve (or a minimum of £7.50) — 7- to 10-day listing. This gives opportunity for competition bidding; set a “Buy It Now” higher so some buyers may skip the auction.
