What is the value of a 13 cent bicentennial Lafayette stamp?

Answer 1

I believe you are referring to Scott #1010 celebrating Lafayette's arrival in the US 175 years earlier. Issued in 1952. It can be purchased mint for .45 and used for .15 Selling might get a few cents for it, but few dealers would be willing to buy one stamp.

Answer 2

Mint US stamps are worth their face value to use as postage, so use yours that way, if you need postage.

Otherwise, your stamp has negligible value ( less than 25 cent retail) , but please do not throw it away! Keep it

in your stamp collection for your children or yourself when you have more time. If you have more than one,

you may be able to trade it for stamps of similar value. .

Or give it to a collector friend. Collectors always appreciate the thought even it they do not need the stamp.

Answer 3

This is a common US commemorative stamp.

If you want to buy just one it will probably cost you from 10 to 25 cents at a stamp store for a used one--

Unused, about twice face.

If you want to order it by mail, you would have to pay postage and handling in addition.

Dealers get them as part of larger lots for almost nothing per stamp- say 65% face if mint and

1/2 cent if used.

It is the kind of stamp I use on letters if unused or give to kids if used.

Answer 4

There were a number of Lafeyette stamps issued. They are worth about .20 cents.

Answer 5

That would be Scott number US 1582. It has a minimal value of 15 cents mint or used.

Answer 6

About 13 cents...
