Eight cents, for sure , if unused, and you can use them for postage.
if used, not much . If you have 100 of them, soaked off in good condition, you call sell them for 50 cents, provided you have enough other stamps to sell to bring your total offering up to $50.00 and you pay the postage to get to NY. Some dealer might pay 1 cent each for them , if he needs them for his stocks, and you offer them for sale at auction and see what they will bring.

The moment Stimson informed him that the project to build atomic bombs existed and that Franklin D. Roosevelt had already issued orders for the Army to plan to use them on Japan, after Truman was sworn in as president following Franklin D. Roosevelt's death.

They've had some nice things like kimchi, soju, the turtle ship, the hanbok and Hangeul. These things are influences in the world because now Americans eat kimchi and drink soju. People wear the hanbok on babies first birthdays and people also use Hangul (Korean). That is a few things that Korea has brought to the U.S.
The alternator is not getting power? At any of the wires or just the main/largest one? If you are testing the large wire, this is the output side that runs to the battery. If there is no power in this wire where it connects to the alternator it must have a bad connection at the alternator or at the battery or a break somewhere in between. If there is power there, I would look at the fuses.
Harry S. Truman the 34th Vice President and the 33rd President of the United States was a Democrat.
Although he is from a major republican state (Texas) he is a democrat all the way. I like this guy so much I named a chicken after him. *extra* His slogan was all the way with LBJ.
From the beginning of the war, President Harry S. Truman called for containment of the 38th parallel rather than all out war. Truman felt, by containing it, he would succeed and preventing a wedge from being driven between the United States and the rest of the Far East. General MacArthur, vehemently disagreed, opting instead for total destruction and a complete booting out of all the communists. The disagreement finally ended in MacArthur losing his post.
In reality he didn't want to drop the atomic bombs on Japan because he knew the consequences it could have on Japanese citizens since he knew the devastation those bombs could cause.
However he knew that if nothing was done millions of American soldiers would die trying to beat japan. So he wanted to break the will of the people So he warned japan if they didn't give up unconditionally he would drop a bomb on japan. However Japan didn't take him serious. That's when the first bomb was dropped it cause heavy civilian casualties on japan but even then japan still did not want to give up so Truman ordered another bomb to drop and it was dropped and again cause even more civilian casualties than the first bomb.
Afterwards Japan surrendered unconditionally.
He sought a Fair Deal which inluded universal health care, repeal of the anti-union Taft-Hartley act which had been passed over his veto and sweeping changes in the area of Civil Rights.
When the United States and the rest of the world discovered the full extent of Nazi Germany's genocidal plan against Jews, white Americans became more willing to examine their own country's racism. Meanwhile, returning African-American veterans became determined to root out injustice in the United States. In this context, the desegregation of the military took place in 1948.
President Truman did not think it likely that legislation to desegregate the military would make it through Congress. So instead, Truman used an executive order to end military segregation. Executive Order 9981, signed on July 26, 1948, forbade discriminating against military personnel because of race, color, religion, or national origin.
In the Battle of Okinawa, the Japanese solders fought and died for a hopeless cause until they completely ran out of ammunition. Harry Truman realized the Japanese would not surrender as long as they had one bullet. He decided a lot fewer lives would be lost, both American and Japanese, with the atom bomb than with an invasion of Japan.
At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.
