What is the value of the dag hammarskjold stamp?

Answer 1

Scott Numbers 1203 and 1204

This a common US commemorative, but it has a story.

There was an error made with the background yellow printed upside down.

The post office then printed millions of the error version and sold them to anybody who wanted them. Although the error version was printed in much smaller numbers than the original, it is also very common.

Bottom line: don't pay more than 20 cents for either retail.

If you have one of the inverts on cover with a cancellation prior to the reprint date, it can be worth a premium.
