Queen Victoria

The first stamps issued by the Bahamas were in 1859 and consisted of two penny red stamps.  SG1 is much rarer with a mint price of £4,750. Most of the stamps of this reign are avidly collected with many of them catalogued at very high prices, especially the 1862 stamps with the SG14 4d and SG16 6d Stamp catalogued at £19,000 each in mint condition.

King Edward Vll

Three sets were issued in this period with the best being the 1902 to 1910 set of 7 stamps. The £1 green and black SG70 being the hardest to find with a price tag of £250 in mint condition and an even higher price of £350 in used

King George V

Nine different sets were issued between 1912 and 1935, with two nice sets.  One being the 1912 to 1919 set made up of 9 stamps with the SG89 £1 stamp being the rarist. The other good set is the 1921 to 1937 which has 11 stamps with the 1926 £1 being the hardest to find catalogued at £170 in mint condition and £325 in used.
