Best Answer

Cost of a postage stamp was dependant on the face value of the stamp usually available in many denominations. The most common rate stamp is for First Class Mail. In the United States in the 1950's that was 3 cents for the first ounce up until 1958. On August first the rate went up to 4 cents.
