#207 is one of the cheapest and most common stamps of the 19th century and as such it is an ideal stamp to collect fancy cancels on. Most fancy cancels are simple geometric designs and are not worth much more than a regular used stamp. However special designed cancels, such as a letter of the alphabet. One of the most prized fancy cancels is the skull and cross bones, the one above sold for £3,750.
