There are actually 4 different G Stamps (Old Glory), each worth a different amount. They were printed because the postal rates were not approved with enough advance notice to print the required quantities of new stamps. There was also a "makeup" G stamp issued (Dove stamp) worth 3 cents.
Old Glory First Class (Scott 2881) 32 cents - first class rate US only
Old Glory Postcard (Scott 2879) - 20 cents
Old Glory Nonprofit Presort (Scott 2893) 5 cents
Old Glory First Class Presort (Scott 2888) - 25 cents (blue)
If you have a stamp that has no value printed on it, such as the G stamp, you can visit the USPS link below, which provides a picture of all the non-denominated stamps and their face value. Match up the pictures and words to find the correct value for the one you have. They are still valid for postage.
You will need to consult the catalogs and do some research. Most libraries will have a copy of Scott's Postage Stamp Catalog of the World. First of all, you have to identify the specific stamp or card. That in itself can be a daunting task, but most of the catalogs are well illustrated with lots of information. Once you know what item you have, the catalog will provide a set of prices that can be used to estimate value.
Read it carefully! There are four different G stamps:
G - For US Addresses Only - 32 cents
G - Pre-sort - 25 cents
G - Postcard - 20 cents
G - Make-up Rate - 3 cents
They are still valid for postage at those rates to destinations in the US only.
There are several stamps that have the label "G", of different values. Several of them have a picture of an American flag, but have different values. None of them have any great value as collectibles.
The ones marked First Class are worth 32 cents. Additional postage must be added to make the current rate. There are three other values for pre-sort, make up rate (3 cents) and postcard (20 cents).
Stamps are issued with different values. They may be as low as 1 cent, as much as $200. A standard 1st class stamp is 49 cents.
Denominations can be as small as 1 cent. The highest face value I have seen is a $200 tax stamp used for paying the transfer tax on machine guns. A standard 1st class stamp is 49 cents.

The value of a G rate stamp varies depending on the country issuing it and the specific year of issue. In general, G rate stamps are intended for domestic mail and usually have a lower denomination than stamps meant for international or higher-weight mail. It is best to consult with your local postal service or a philatelist for an accurate valuation.
The most common G rate stamps sold for 32 cents and are still worth that amount as postage. There was also a make-up rate stamp worth 3 cents that was intended to be used with a 29 cent stamp to reach the new G rate of 32. There was also a G rate stamp for post cards, worth 20 cents and one for non-profit presort use, worth 5 cents.
thirty-two cents according this this site http://www.akdart.com/postrate.html
If it says US Addresses Only it is good for 32 cents worth of postage. The Make Up stamp is worth 3 cents.
A G stamp has a face value of 32 cents. You would have to add 27 cents to mail a letter with it.
That will depend on the specific US stamp in question. They can range from being a nominal value of a few cents for most, but there are a few that could be worth thousands of dollars. You will have to consult a postage stamp catalog to find out.
Your stamp is not rare and is not worth anything. Most German stamps of this era are worth far more if they are used, and the cancellation will ultimately determine the value.
This stamp is Scott number 553. It can be purchased for about 20 cents used and $2.30 in mint condition.
