After withdrawal of Scinde Dawk stamps in October,1854, the East Indian company continued its issues carrying head of Queen Victoria till 1864, until its stamps were finally withdrawn from British territories to be replaced by stamps issued by Govt. of British India, reporting directly to Her Majesty Queen Victoria (assumed power from 1st Nov.1858).
Following were some East India issued stamps, minus the Scinde Dawk :-
These stamps have become quite rare, especially the mint (unused) types. Stanley Gibbons puts a price between 4.50 to 1000 GBP. Its one of the most prized collections for serious philatelists.
I shall write more about other types of British Indian stamps which are part of my collection, in my upcoming blogs.
Till then...Happy collecting :)
