The United States 1-cent Benjamin Franklin design of 1870 could be any of several different issues. Consult Scott's Specialized Catalog of United States Stamps & Covers. The 2006 Scott gives a range of values from $275.00 for the grilled issue of 1870 to $1.00 for the re-engraved issue of 1883. For 19th Century United States stamps, condition is everything. The highest catalog value 1-cent used Franklin in damaged condition is worth less than the least catalog value issue in perfect or spectacular condition (when color and depth of impression matter). Your best strategy is visit a local stamp dealer who knows condition and can pass judgment on an individual stamp within seconds. Ultimately, the value of any 19th Century United States stamp is exactly what someone will pay for your copy. The catalog values are ballparks. This stamp was a workhorse of its era. Regardless of the value, it is worth owning as an object with artistic merit and historic significance, a rare combination.
