What is john f Kennedy 13c stamp worth today?

Answer 1

Scott #1287 Like most used US postage stamps it is worth 20 cents, the minimum amount required to catalog and stock the stamps. Unused will always be worth at least their face value. This item is worth 30 cents mint if you wanted to buy it from a dealer. Special cancellations and different values are likely to be worth more. Consult a postage stamp catalog, usually available at your local library for exact identification and catalog values. Thanks for the answer! Christopher http://www.christopher-roberts.co.uk/

Answer 2

This is a common US regular stamp. It really has no market value, except for postage. However,if you know a collector he will likely be happy to get it, either for his collection or for trading for stamps he does need, or if only for your thoughtfulness.

Let me explain, at risk of boring you, a little about the stamp market:

Common stamps are usually sold in packets, or collections or stamps, not one at a time, and this is the way you want to buy them if you are a collector. In these packets, you have no choice as to exactly what you will get.

For example a packet may be advertised as 500 different US for $5.00 or $400 different US commemoratives for $7.50.or $50 face value US for $45.

After you have bought a number of packets, you will find that you have duplicates of some stamps but lack other, equally common stamps. If you know other collectors, you can make trades. But if you can not get all the stamps you want by trading, or by buying more packets, you can order individual stamps from dealers, and there is a "Standard Postage Stamp Catalog" which lists typical dealer's prices ( inflated somewhat)

for stamps ordered individually. The minimum price is 20 cents and mint stamps are listed at about twice face ( if that, is over 20 cents).

So, in some sense, every stamp is "worth" 20 cents, but unless you are a retail dealer, you will never be able to sell your stamp for that much and even a retail dealer does not sell very many common stamps for that amount.

Dealers buy common stamps as part of large collections and accumulations. When a long time collectors decides to sell ( or his heirs sell), he usually has ( or leaves) thousands of common stamps as well as his main collection.Dealers buy the whole thing, but really only pay for the good stamps -- 20 cents they get from such are mostly a labor charge for finding the stamp you want.

{| |- | Scott Number 1246 You can purchase one of these for 15 cents used and 95 cents mint from a dealer. This minimum value on the used stamps indicates that it has no real value. Dealers typically don't buy single stamps, but they might give you a quarter for a mint stamp in perfect condition. |}
