There were many stamps issued of various denominations. The postage rate has never been 23 cents for the initial rate, but was valid for the second and additional ounces of mail. That was valid from February 1991 to January 1999 when it went down a penny.

I believe you are referring to Scott Catalog # 2564, 29 cent, Jack Benny issued as a commemorative stamp in 1991 in booklet form with 5 comedians.There are three values for this stamp and they are:New = $1.00Used = 20 cents(Scott Specialized Catalog of US Stamps, page 200)Face value of 29 cents.Because of the large amount of stamps printed (699.9 million, page 531) for this issue most dealers will pay you about 80% of face value or 23 cents for new stamp.Used stamps are sold by the ounce.
Use the variable of x for the number of 37 cent stamps. Use the variable of y for the 23 cent stamps. We know that .37x + .23y = 4.85 We also know that x+y = 15 Subtract y from both sides of the equation. So x = 15 -y Substitute (15-y) in the first equation. .37(15-y) + .23y = 4.85 5.55 -.37y + .23y = 4.85 5.55 - .14y = 4.85 5.55 = 4.85 + .14y 5.55 - 4.85 = .14y .7 = .14y .7/.14 = y 5 = y Therefore x = 10 .37(10) + .23(5) = 4.85
23-30 stamps depending on the weight of the package.

100*23/25 = 92 per cent
There are many factors involved. If it is unused, it can be used for 23 cents worth of postage. If it is relatively recent and used, it has a minimal value. There are a few stamps that might be worth more than face value to a collector, but not many at that face value.
