{| |- | First Class postage in March 1899 was 2 cents for the first ounce. During World War 1, the price was raised a penny to cover the costs of the war. This rate was valid through July 6 1932. At that point it went up to 3 cents. |}
a long time ago
It would have cost you 44 cents to mail your Christmas cards that year. And a postcard would have cost 28 cents.
The rate would have been 10 cents for all but the last day of the year. It went up to 13 cents.
The cost of a post card was 24 cents at the beginning of 2007. It want up to 26 cents in May. Prior to that the 23 cent rate was in effect for a year.
Depends on where you are sending it from!It costs 98 cents from the US in the year 2010.
A postcard cost 28 cents in 2010. First class letter was 44 cents.
First-Class Mail International Letter $1.05 (as of August 2012, but it increases every year or so).
Yes. With first class, the cost is 44 cents per postcard. With bulk mail it is about 25 cents per postcard. The only drawback is you need to buy a permit for $190 per year. But if you're mailing more than a couple thousand postcards each year, it's well worth it.
Regular, one ounce first class letters cost 18 cents to mail in the US for most of the year. Sometime around October the rate jumped to 20 cents.
In the year 1999 in the United States, First Class postage was 32 cents. It went up to 33 cents on January 10th. That covered the first ounce of postage.
The price today is .42 cents; will be .44 cents on May 11.
I'm not sure I understand your question: the price of a stamp to mail a typical letter was usually two cents from the mid 1880s till about 1917; it rose briefly to three cents, and then fell back to two cents during the 1920s. It cost three cents well into the 1940s. In the late 50s, it rose to four cents... and these days, it's not quite fifty cents-- it's currently forty-nine cents. But if you are asking when the first fifty cent definitive stamp came out, that was probably in early November 1894: The US Postal service says this stamp appeared in the first definitive series printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, and it showed an image of Thomas Jefferson.
