What is the most expensive UK postage stamp in terms of face value?

[Ethel]

�5, I think.

I gave ny OH some �5 stamps to use on a parcel he had to pist. He took it to the post office and the woman behind the counter had to check to see if they were real!! She'd never seen one!! LOL

Whilst �5 stamps exist and remain valid for use, they are not currently sold.

�1 is normally the highest value - but there is a Christmas �1.24 special at the moment (for airmail zone 2 over 20g)

Dzug - how is it then that you can buy sheets of 100 stamps in each of the denominations �1.50, �2, �3 and �5 ?

Wasn't aware you could, Catron - but looking at the Royal mail site I see you are right.

They are certainly not standard stock at (smaller?) post offices - they used to be, but when printing labels came in they were removed from sale. I thought they had been withdrawn altogether but was obviously mistaken.
