Do all USPS Forever stamps have a black slash through the word 'Forever'?
No, not all USPS Forever stamps have a black slash through the word 'Forever.' The design varies depending on the specific stamp issue, and only some stamps feature this design element.

What if stamps do not have an amount on them?
If you are talking about USA stamps then it probably is a "forever" stamp good for the first class rate of one ounce or less. It is the Liberty Bell. During the last 2 decades, the US Postal Service has issued non-denominated stamps for use when they were unsure of the amount that would be authorized for a rate increase. There is a page on their web site that shows the pictures and values for these stamps. Some stamps may not be postage stamps at all but they have the same shapes. They are advertising or hobby items. I have seen stamps with each country's flag on them for collecting.
