The B stamp is worth a face value of 18 cents. 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.

Three stamps were issued and there are 4 values for each issue. This stamp is Scott Catalog # 1818, 1819 and 1820, a regular issue that was issued in 1981. 100's of millions of stamps were issued.

The values are:

Scott Cat. # 1818 (sheet)

New = 35 cents

Used = 20 cents

Face = 18 cents

Dealer value = 15 cents (20% below Face value)

Scott Cat. # 1819 (booklet)

New = 40 cents

Used = 20 cents

Face = 18 cents

Dealer value = 15 cents (20% below Face value)

Scott Cat. # 1820 (coil)

New = 40 cents

Used = 20 cents

Face = 18 cents

Dealer value = 15 cents (20% below Face value)
