You would have to identify the stamp using a catalog, there are three or four different issues that this description would fit. Check you library for a copy of Scott's Postage Stamp Catalog of the World. It will help you identify the stamp and its catalog value. A mint copy may have a small value, say half a dollar or so. Minimal value for these stamps in used condition indicates that the cost is in packaging and tracking and not the stamp itself. A dealer isn't going to be interested in purchasing a single copy. You would be better to use it for postage rather than trying to sell it. Or trade with another collector!
The cost of mailing a standard letter within Australia in 1957 was 4d (four pence).
The cost was 3 cents in 1957. That covered the first ounce of weight. It was raised to 4 cents on August 1, 1958.
can anyone tell me wow much it is worth\ the stamp was circulating in 1957 or 1958
It would have cost 3 cents to mail a letter in 1957. A post card was 2 cents.
Just for your knowledge, the stamp is Scott Catalogue number 1107, printed in 1958. This is a very common stamp in both mint and used condition. The true market value wouldn't be much more than the face value. Most dealers and collectors still commonly use this stamp as postage on letters!
Not a great deal I'm afraid. A dealer might give you $2.50 for the sheet. Or you could use it for postage at face value.
the price was $2.00
