How much is a 1947 Thomas Edison 3 cent stamp worth?
FDR appeared on a 3-center as part of a memorial set for him soon after he died. He died in 1945; the stamp appeared in 1945 or 1946. The same set had stamps of 1 cent, 2 cent, and 5 cent denominations, all with the same portrait, but different scenes related to his life . I am pretty sure that Theodore Roosevelt never was on a 3 cent stamp.
