1931 Dr. Sun Yat-sen Double-line Circle in Sun

The 1931 Sun Yat-sen definitives were recess printed by De La Rue & Co. of London. The stamps were printed on unwatermarked paper, perforated 12½ by 13 with the three high values bi-colored. The defining characteristic of the 1931 printing is the double lines forming the inner circle of the sun. This double line was considered to be a serious defect in the design of the stamp. The sun emblem was very significant to the Nationalist Movement and the line was intended to be single. Subsequent printings had a think line (actually a joining of the two thin lines) and then later a single thin line.

These prices for Chinese stamps are provided as a service to Hobbizine readers. They are derived from numerous sources such as dealer price lists, advertisements in philatelic publications, and public auction results. Use these values as a guideline for evaluating the reasonableness of dealer prices, setting up trades with other collectors, and estimating the worth of your collection. The value of an individual stamp is dependent on its centering and condition. Four prices are listed here for each stamp:

--Used as Normally Collected
--Used Exceptionally Fine
--Mint as Normally Collected
--Mint Exceptionally Fine

It is hoped that this range of prices will meet the needs of most collectors. However, a particularly nice example might sell for more than the amounts listed, while a particularly poor copy might be worth less.
