Hello. I would like to know the face value of the English stamps without an indicated price (color, 1st...). Would a member have a table to be able to calculate their face for a sale? Thank you very much. Have a nice day.

'E' rate (no longer issued) is currently £2.50, but that is also going to change next month.

All new stamps now have a barcode. Old definitive stamps without a barcode are no longer valid for postage. Commemorative stamps without a barcode are still valid.

Hello from Switzerland !
hard to believe, but this seems to be the so-called "progress"
can they get exchanged against valid definitives?
Thanks for your information

There's a Royal Mail 'swap out scheme', which I think (I'm not sure) is still available. But people have to fill in a form and send their stamps to Royal Mail.

One more thing.
The Decimal Wilding definitives, which were issued to commemorate the wilding stamps, are considered to be Commemorative stamps by the Royal Mail, and are thus still valid for postage,
However post workers don't always realise this so using them can sometimes cause problems. (I only use them to upgrade a package from second class to first class mail, that way at least the package will still be delivered even if someone wrongly thinks the additional stamps are invalid)
