This is a common US regular issue stamp.

If you want to buy just one it will probably cost you from 10 to 25 cents at a stamp store for a used one--

Unused, about twice face.

If you want to order it by mail, you would have to pay postage and handling in addition.

Dealers get them as part of larger lots for almost nothing per stamp- say 65% face if mint and

1/5 cent if used.
