What is stamp insurance?

We understand that your stamp collection is one of you most precious possessions. Whether you inherited it, built it with love or as an investment, our comprehensive range of stamp insurance policies gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your collection knowing that is has the necessary protection in place. Choose from either a standalone bespoke policy or inclusion within our High Value Home Insurance policies.

Why do you need stamp insurance?

Stamps are very fragile and can be easily damaged. They are also easy to misplace and lose sight of. It’s important you protect them with a bespoke and wide ranging insurance policy. With Stanhope there is no need to itemise your collection and collections under £250,000 are instantly accepted. More valuable collections require a phone call.

What types of stamp can I insure with you?

We accept all types of stamps. From unfranked (mint stamps) and franked or “cancelled” stamps to commemorative stamps.

How do I value my collection?

The only way to value your collection is by consulting with a specialist professional valuer. Without one, insurers will rely on the Stanley Gibbons catalogue price.
