Stamp Act
One of the important factors in listing stamps is to only include stamps that were issued for legitimate postage use. There are many countries that have created and printed stamps specifically to sell to collectors. They print hundreds of thousands of stamps well above the needs of the population of the country. These types of stamps are seldom listed in the catalogs.
Printed materials such as books, newspapers, and magazines are typically not subject to sales tax in most states in the United States. However, there may be exceptions depending on the state and the specific item being sold.
It is called a stamp album. They can be purchased in a wide variety of styles and costs. The most expensive contain a mount for each stamp already on the page, so you all you have to do is slide it in. Others contain some printed pictures and you past the stamps in with hinges.
Like all collectibles, it depends on supply and demand. One of the most valuable stamps in the world is a used, torn, poor conditioned stamp from British Guiana. But it is the only known copy of 24 that were printed. Common stamps used today are probably low value and hardly worth keeping as an investment, but can still be educational and fun to collect.
Multiple-choice questions only work when given the list of possible answers.
Someone's used passport will have used stamps. A stamp album will have many used stamps. And most scrapbooks have many stamps in them.
Revenue stamps are part of a group called "Back of the Book" stamps. They will be found in the 'back of the book' or the back of the catalog for US stamps. The US Specialized catalog will list it, as will most of the other US catalogs. You can usually find a copy at your local library. It will also tell you when it was used and how it was printed among other information.
Stamps that represent a tax put in place but the state of which it is sold. Most stamps are transfered by means of heat.
The worth of a stamp depends on many factors which could cause a stamp to be worth pennies to hundreds, thousands into a million dollars. Most issues were printed in the 100's of millions of stamps making them worth only pennies. Some of the factors that make a stamp worth more are:Rarity: Stamps that had only a few printed go up in value.Old: Most old stamps have a good value, but not all of them.Mistakes or (Errors, Freaks and Oddities): Usually have very good values.Supply and demand: Some stamps go up in value because of demand. More people bought them an pushed the value up. (Baseball, Movie stars, animals, etc)
Cancellation refers to the postal markings printed on stamps after they are mailed. Stamps with these marks on them are known as "cancelled" or "used" stamps. Yes, they are worth something to collectors, but their value varies widely, from almost nothing ( say 5 cents per hundred) to thousands of dollars.That depends a great deal on the stamp. In general, stamps on cover are worth more than those off of the cover. To determine value, you would have to consult a catalog or dealer.
There have been several non-denominated flag stamps. They were used to cover increases in postal rates when they weren't sure how much would be authorized. Check the US Postal web site for specific pictures to match up with the one you have.
Most Aldis do, yes, as I shopped at our Aldis when I was on food stamps.
