Slingback77 23 Apr 2016 03:06:13pm	Hello I came across these at an old antique store in Warwick . The vendor and myself are completely baffled as to what they are .... They have what looks like a silver metal tab embedded . I hope the pictures are clear for you to have a look at. Year 1801 so not a postage stamp obviously they may have something to do with government taxes? ...... I took pictures front and back . Any help would be great! 1 Member likes this post.

khj 23 Apr 2016 03:22:23pm	re: Hello could someone please try and identify this .... Fiscal? Great Britain Very nice. The 1st pic show Stamp Tax "stamps" (embossed). The 2nd pic shows the cypher seals on the back. On the cypher seals, the emblem/text indicates the monarch -- e.g., King George IV. The number, I believe, indicates the position on the full sheet of cypher seals. Don't know much beyond that. 1 Member likes this post. Login to Like.

nigelc 23 Apr 2016 05:32:51pm	re: Hello could someone please try and identify this .... Fiscal? Great Britain Hi, I've not much to add to what khj has written. The piece of metal is a tin staple that ties the revenue stamp to the document. The cypher seal on the back covers the two ends of the staple. Login to Like this post

stampchi 20 May 2016 08:42:57pm	re: Hello could someone please try and identify this .... Fiscal? Great Britain The 1st of these stamps appeared in Queen Anne's reign. An interesting fact is that Rowland Hill chose the size of the penny black from this design.
