In the US a five cent stamp can be used toward making up the postage rate necessary.
3-5 cents
5 cent
Effective 5-11-09....postage is now 44 cents...It would be returned for additional postage.
i believe the value of a one cent stamp is worth 2 cents if used as postage but i have done research and believe yo can sell it for about 5 cents or so.
Martha Washington has only been pictured on four cent or eight cent stamps. They would be Scott numbers 636, 556 and 306. Consult a postage stamp catalog, they all have some nice value in mint condition.
The standard First Class Postage Rate was 5 cents in 1967.
The postage is standard first class 1 ounce (a "Forever" stamp).
This is the forever stamp -- its value as postage remains at the current first class rate. Even when the rate goes up, it can still be used without additional postage. Now it is the same as a 42 cent stamp-- after May 11, it becomes a 44-center.
For First Class postage, one ounce using the Liberty Bell forever stamp, 44 cents.
These stamps are virtually worthless:one dealer I know of will pay 5 cents per hundred , if you have $50.00 worth and pay postage to send them to him.
This stamp is practically worthless. I do know one dealer who will pay 5 cent sper hundred for them, if you put them in neat bundles of 100 each, have $50 worth to sell and pay postage to send them to him.
