{| |- | Scott Number 2721, 2724, and 2731 If it is truly cancelled prior to the first day of issue, it will have some premium value. A First Day of Issue cover goes for a little over a dollar. I would expect something like this would be worth a few dollars. There are three different types of this stamp, so make sure you know which one you have, as they were issued at different times. Consult a stamp catalog such as Scott's, for a description on how the stamps differ, as well as identifying the actual date of issue for each of the three types of stamps. |}

Too many variables. You need to fully identify the stamp you are interested in, some things to figure out: What was the country of issue? Was the stamp canceled in 1960? or does it commemorate something that was made in 1960 and has that date in the design? What condition is the stamp in? Is the stamp used or look like it just came from the post office? Consult a stamp catalog online or at your local library.
What does a first day issue stamp look like?
It isn't the stamp, it is the cancellation that makes a First Day of Issue. And what you will have in the US is a cancellation that has two bars top and bottom with the words First Day of Issue in between. The bull's eye will be on the left side with the city and date on it.Many countries include some related picture in the cancellation. Ideally the cancel will clearly 'tie' the stamps to the cover, making it obvious that the stamp was on the envelope when the cancellation was applied.
