What are 1940 stamps worth?

Answer 1

You will need to consult the catalogs and do some research. Most libraries will have a copy of Scott's Postage Stamp Catalog of the World. First of all, you have to identify the specific stamp or card. That in itself can be a daunting task, but most of the catalogs are well illustrated with lots of information. Once you know what item you have, the catalog will provide a set of prices that can be used to estimate value.

Answer 2

If they haven't been used, they are worth at least face value. Most of them are going to be worth about 20 cents, the minimum value to identify and stock a stamp. But some might have more value. Use a stamp catalog, usually available at your local library, to identify them and get an estimated value.
