A303-“United Arab Emirates Purple 50 Fils Stamp — Eagle Emblem Mint/Used — Rar

Title:

“United Arab Emirates Purple 50 Fils Stamp — Eagle Emblem — Mint/Used — Rare Middle East”

Category:

Collectibles → Stamps → Middle East → United Arab Emirates

Condition:

I would list it as “Used (or Mint, if never hinged and pristine)” depending on whether there is cancellation — from the photo it looks unused (no visible cancellation) but I see some marks, so “Used – Very Fine” or “Used – Unhinged” if the gum is intact.

Valuation / Pricing Advice:

I was unable to find a well-established catalog value for exactly this stamp in purple with no surcharge or special overprint in excellent condition.

Similar UAE/Abu Dhabi 50 Fils stamps with surcharges or rare varieties have sold for US $40 in used condition.

Standard 50 Fils coins are valued at cents in numismatic catalogs, so stamps tend to fetch much more for rarity.

Given this, a safe auction listing might start modestly (say £5–£15 GBP) and let bidding determine value.

For “Buy It Now”, a price in the range £25–£40 could attract serious collectors, especially if your example is in very good condition.

Recommended (Buy It Now) Price:

£30.00

Start at £7.50 (no reserve) or £10.00 with a reserve (if you prefer).
