Value Harry Truman stamps?

These are still quite common whether you mean the 20 cent regular issue or the commemorative which was issued soon after he dies. Its retail value in good condition - no missing perforations or thin spots and full gum if unused and lightly canceled if used -- is from 10 to 20 cents retail. Dealer would charge up to twice face for the mint stamps. Wholesale, the value is 50 cents to 75 cents in lots of 100 for the used commemorate and 15 cents per hundred for the 20 cent regular issue. Unused about 65% of face if you have enough unused stamps to make it worth a dealer's time. Full sheets and plate number blocks can often be sold for full face and maybe 20% more.


How much is a 1972 coin of Harry S. Truman worth?

This sounds like a commemorative medal, perhaps the "Inauguration" medallion after assuming the Presidency upon the death of Franklin D. Rosevelt. As such it has no numismatic value, as it is not legal tender. It probably does have "book value" to collectors of Presidential medals, but I'm unfamiliar with price guides for that. (Other FAQ Farmers can edit this last bit to substitute an accurate value. :) )
