What is the value of a 2 cent green George Washington Stamp?

Answer 1

George Washington is one of the most common subjects on US stamps. It will take some detective work to narrow down the search. Use a catalog online or through your local library to identify the specific item. It will also provide an estimated value.

Answer 2

There are many different 1 cent Washington stamps, over 20 of them and they vary by all sorts of small details. Value ranges from a few cents to thousands of dollars. Identify the exact stamp using a catalog. For these this could involve learning about perforations, watermarks and colors as well as condition. The catalog will provide a value. The value is what a collector could expect to pay for a stamp in fine/very fine condition. If selling, most cases you would be lucky to get 75% of the catalog, unless it is very valuable, then an auction would be worth looking into. The most common American catalog for identification is Scott's. Others are Stanley Gibbons, Minkus and even the US Postal Service Catalog of stamps.

Answer 3

There were many varieties of George Washington 2 cent stamps during this time. Without a better identification, it would be hard to know what the value may be. There were so many different varieties that identification during this time frame is very difficult.

You need to fully identify the stamp, including knowing the catalog number, perforations, watermarks, condition and other factors. If you look it up in the catalog there is a price listed. That price is what a buyer should expect to pay a dealer for the stamp. If you are selling, you should consider yourself lucky if you get half that amount. Look for special markings. Stamps on envelopes can be worth more, particularly with picture cancellations, First Day Cancellations and special locations. Find a philatelist and ask for more information!

Answer 4

Scott Number 300, green 1 cent, has the dates 1706 to 1790 (Franklin's birth and death) on them. It was issued in 1902.

Mint condition can be purchased for $15 from a dealer. Used is of little or no value. But there is an imperforate (no little holes) that has a value of around $50 new or used.
