Ceylon
Stamps
Welcome to our page on Ceylon Stamps
Ceylon first issued stamps in 1857.
All the stamps between 1857 and 1865 are of a good design
and are well worth collecting, SG numbers 1-59, collect in
mounted mint or used condition. Do not pay any more than
50% of the catalogue
value.
*Collecting Window
1857-1949 (best period to
collect)
Collecting, all the later stamps from
1949 up to the present are not very good to collect
if you are looking for stamps to increase in
value.
*Investment
All
early stamps and any high values between 1887 and

Areas
Lookout for all the early stamps from
c1857 through to c1870, these are great stamps to have in
one's collection and are very hard to find in fine used
and mounted mint condition. Prices are not cheap but the
stamps should prove to be be a sound investment for the
future, as always the choice must be
yours.
