The price of postage continues to go up. Where can I find an up to date site to let me know how much a postage stamp costs today?
As of October 2012, a single first class postage stamp in the United States costs $0.45.
Whatever the first class postage is. Today it is 49 cents
44-Cent First Class : February 4th , 2011 .
Yes, you can still use a Forever stamp issued by the United States Postal Service in 2009. This was the revolutionary idea of the Forever stamp - you can purchase a first-class stamp at today's price then not have to purchase additional postage later when the price goes up. The stamp is called the "Forever Stamp" because it will be valid forever for a first class envelope.
40-60 cents.
sure but you will have to make up the difference in postage fees
No, it is not. It was a non-denominated postage stamp issued for the rate change in 1985 to 22 cents. It can be used for 22 cents of postage within the US, so two of these will mail a First Class letter today.
can anyone tell me wow much it is worth\ the stamp was circulating in 1957 or 1958
As of today 45/100 of a dollar or 45 cents
Yes and no. You can apply the Lady Liberty stamp from 2006 toward postage. But you will have to add 3 cents worth of stamps in addition. The Lady Liberty stamp is worth 39 cents. Today 1st Class postage is 42 cents. As of this writing (June 2009) first class postage is 44 cents, so you need to add 5 cents.
Yes. As long as the stamp was issued after 1867 and is still unused, it doesn't matter the denomination. It is still postage.
The most valuable stamp is the inverted Jenny. It was auctioned for over 3 million. There are only about 100 pieces in existence today.
