According to “FindYourStampValue”, the 2s 6d “Fan Vaulting” design is listed among Great Britain commemoratives.

However, recent listings for similar presentation packs (including the 2/6 version) run around £15.93 for the set in mint condition.

Because this is a single stamp rather than a full presentation pack, and depending strongly on condition, a realistic value might range from £5 to £20+ for a well-preserved mint example.

Recommended Listing Strategy / Tips:

Provide close-up photos of front, back (gum), edges, perforations, and any flaws.

Mention provenance if known (how long held, storage, etc.).

Use keywords like “mint”, “never hinged”, “unmounted”, “British commemorative stamp 1966”, “Westminster Abbey 900th”

Include shipping options (e.g. tracked, insured) and handling time.

Consider combining with other GB stamps if you have more, to attract collectors.
