    Was cleaning out an old cupboard and found an envelope with the following stamps

    20 of 4pence(purple with bowl)
    1 of 10p (red,2 armbands)
    1 of 28p (red,top of crozier)
    20 of £1 (greenland white fronted goose)
    4 of £1 / E1.27 (greenland white fronted goose)
    2 of £1 / E1.27 (mercedes ssk-Irish Grand Prix)

    They are all in perfect condition except 3 of the £1 stamps were bent in the envelope.
    Are any of them worth anything or can I get the money back off them in the post office?

    The time is up for cashing in punt stamps, they only allowed a year or two unlike with coins and notes which are indefinite until further notice. I'm not 100% sure about the ones that have both Euro and £ values, you'll have to check with An Post.

    they are from just round the time of the changeover to the euro as some of them have a euro and punt value so I would guess 2000-2002.

    there are 6 of them that have £1 and E1.27 so they are probably still useable and I will find out about the rest.

    There is a collectable stamp shop just off oconnell street in dublin. Turn down the lane at burger king, and its above a sports shop on the right hand side.

    Stamps that are connected to the traffic lights strip are worth more.

    At least that's what some random piece of knowledge I've stored up in my brain seems to recall. :o
