I am guessing you want to mail a letter to some foreign location from the US. If so, the rate is now 98 cents. You can buy a 98-cent stamp at a post office. If all you have is "forever" stamps with the liberty bell on them , you would have to use three and overpay since they are worth 44 cents each . (10-cents stamps are also available at the post office and two 44-cent stamps plus a 10 give the exact amount. )
{| |- | Price listings for stamps are referred to as Catalogs. Many countries have listings of their stamps in various versions.

It will give you descriptions and pictures of the stamps, as well as directions on how to identify and grade them. |}
