British Guiana first issued its own stamps in 1850.

All the early stamps from 1850 till 1876 are hard to find in good mounted mint condition and all are well worth buying at anything under catalogue price.

No stamps were issued with the portraits of Queen Victoria or her son King Edward V11.

*Collecting window 1850-1962  (best period to collect)

Nice country to collect and all the early stamps before 1876 in mint condition should prove to be a good investment for the future.

Queen Victoria

The first stamps were issued in 1850, all the early stamps from British Guiana between 1850-1856 are far too expensive for most people to collect. It is best to start your collection from 1860 with plenty of nice stamps up until 1900. 

King Edward Vll

The 1905-1907 set with 11 stamps and the 1907-1910 set with 6 stamps are the two best sets to collect from this period, with most of the stamps costing under £40 each.

King George V

Two or three sets from this period with the best being the 1913-1921  watermark multi crown CA set of 11 stamps, with a total value of £110 mint and £180 used.

King George Vl

Only one good set from this reign, this being the 1938-1952 set of 12 stamps,  highest value being the $3 red-brown priced at £28 in either mint or used condition.

Queen Elizabeth ll

Again only one good set from this period, this being the 1954-1963 set of 15 stamps values up to $5, with the best stamps being the $1 and $2 both priced at £20 mint.
