Stamp Collecting (Philately)

You can certainly try. But they are not worth much. You can purchase them from a dealer or on eBay for about $2 per cover or even less. They have almost no real gold, such a thin layer that it would take thousands of them to get a measurable amount.

It will say forever on the stamp. If it doesn't, it may be one of the non-denominational issues that has a fixed price. See the link below.

Cost of a postage stamp was dependent on the face value of the stamp. The most common rate stamp is for First Class Mail. In the United States in August of 2008 that was 42 cents for the first ounce.

$2.00

They are still valid for postage in the US. The total stamp value must equal the current First Class rate. You would have to add 7 cents to each of them to total the correct amount for a letter. Used together they would cover two ounces of First Class mail.

There were four different 8 cent Christmas stamps. None of them had a date on them, so it isn't any sort of misprint. You can obtain copies through dealers for 20 cents each.

If you mean EFO's (Errors, Freaks and Oddities) the answer is YES.

These show the 50 state birds and flowers. It complete set mint can be purchased for $55 mint and about $25 used through a dealer. Single copies might be on interest to a dealer to help them put together a set, so they might give a dime for each one in good shape.

As of January 2009 in the US stamps are 42 cents.

The 1847 stamp was brown, What you probably have was cut from a special commemorative sheet issued in 1947 to celebrate the 100 anniversary of the first US stamps. It still retails for less than 50 cents,

but would be a treat for any collector who does not have one, if you do not want to keep it for yourself.

The price of a First Class Stamp in 1965 was 5 cents. It was good for one ounce of First Class Postage. It went up from 4 cents in 1963.

I hate to tell you, but very little. You can purchase them from a dealer or on eBay for about $2 per cover or even less. They have almost no real gold, such a thin layer that it would take thousands of them to get a measurable amount.

First Day Covers in good condition tend to run around a dollar or two. Certain artists can cause a cachet, the design on the envelope, to be worth more.

Yes, it is a postage stamp country. It does not refer to the small size of the country. It references the fact that they make a good revenue from the production and sale of postage stamps to collectors.

The price of a US First Class Stamp in 2000 was 33 cents. It was good for one ounce of First Class Postage. It went up from 32 cents in January 1999.

It went to 34 cents in 2001.

A first class stamp from Canada to the UK is now $1. This, however, is the price for a simple flat letter or airmail to the United Kingdom. If sending a package or parcel, you will probably need to add a few more first class stamps. This, of course, depends on the weight and size of the package.

The US offers 5 cent stamps. They can be used to make up the difference with older stamps. Or to complete the cost for packages. You may have to order them through the USPS, not all post offices will have them.

You can purchase them from a dealer or on eBay for about $2 per cover or even less. They have almost no real gold, such a thin layer that it would take thousands of them to get a measurable amount.

Some are 1 cent and some are 2 cents

It depends on the stamp. Most countries have postage stamps that range in value.

Queen Victoria was the reigning Monarch of the British Empire when postage stamps were first introduced, so it was a certainty that should would appear on British postage stamps. The "Penny Black" is considered the first ever postage stamp. It was introduced by the British for entirely internal use in 1840. It was called the "Penny Black" because it was black and it cost one penny. The only design was Queen Victoria's head. Other denominations (and colours) were introduced once the idea caught on internationally. The portrait of Queen Victoria was taken from a medal by William Wyon, as adapted in a sketch by Henry Corbould. It was engraved by Frederick Heath and recess-printed by Perkins Bacon & Co.

That would be Scott number US 2445. You can buy a mint copy for $3.75 and a used copy for 30 cents.
