Its impossible to tell which die created the 2 cent wrapper from the pic.! But the commen with a #555 on board is valued at about 8.00 -10.00.. The 62' isn't worth much at all.! But may hold special interest to some one that collect chrismas covers..

Thanks SE

Would a close up photo of the 2 cent mark, make it easier, or how do you determin that ?

Does the adding of a stamp (to Europe?) increase the value of the envelope ?

Hey Dane..
I dont collect in this area, so im reluctant to venture there beyond my previous comment..
If you want a good reference you need a catalog like the one below.. Of course if you dont have quite a few to ID or plan to collect in this area in the future, the price of the catalog may be a bit much..
FWIW, you may find a used catalog much cheaper on e-bay..
