Stamp Collecting (Philately)

Three and a half ounces of stamps is a decent amount of stamps. It will vary depending on whether they are still on paper or not and whether they are definitives or commemoratives. You could probably find about 100 to 150 stamps in 3.5 ounces of stamps.

The worth of a 22 cent stamp ranges form 65 cents to 170 dollars.

There was a 6 cent commem and a 6 cent regular issue showing Ike.

If you want to buy just one either will probably cost you from 10 to 25 cents at a stamp store for a mint or used copy.

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 1/20 cent for the regular issue and 1/2 for the commem. , if used.

It is the kind of stamp I use on letters if unused or give to kids if used.

It is impregnated with ink during its manufacture.

You will have to be a bit more descriptive than that. Queen Victoria has been on Canadian stamps since 1953, so there's quite a variety of stamps that yours could be. It wou D be helpful to know more about the stamp, but sadly most postage stamps from the 1950s and up sell by the pound. If it's mint, it's only worth 2¢ in Canadian money, anyway. But wait! Just because it's not worth much doesn't mean you should get rid of it, if that is what you were thinking. I personally would just keep it as an interesting collectable. Now, your stamp might be worth more if it had queen VICTORIA on it, as those are slightly older (last issued in 1899).

500 first class stamps would cost: Well it depends where you get them from!!! :)

That is Scott number US 2566. It has a $3 value new and 40 cents used.

Yes. As long as you use more than one. The postage just has to add up to the postage of a letter. Right now an average letter of normal dimensions and weight, costs 45 cents. Postcard rate is 32 cents, so you would need two stamps. Postage stamps are just like money, as long as it adds up to the current rate, even stamps that are 20 years old are valid. But a first class stamp twenty years ago was 24 cents. It's value doesn't change... it is still 24 cents.

There are several different versions of this stamp. The value varies greatly between them, as low as 35 cents to as high as $5.25 in catalog value. Consult a postage stamp catalog, usually available at your local library for exact identification and catalog values.

Two excellent sources of postage stamp prices are the post office and the postal service website. In the United States, USPS has a list of stamps currently sold, complete with prices, post office locations, and ordering information.

41 cents is 1 cent short of the required 42 cents.

What happens depends on your luck. It may go through with no problem.

It may be sent back to you canceled - you would need another 42 cent

stamp to mail it -- or if it is caught near where it is to be delivered they

will try to collect 1 cent from the receiver.

Almost nothing. These replicas have a layer of gold on the foil that is an atom or two thick. It is not really measurable and it would take thousands of them to make an amount worth anything. You might be able to get a $1 or two.

Canada has issued many 1 cent stamps. You will need to consult the catalogs and do some research. There are lots of stamps issued and they vary in value from almost nothing to some nice values.

Most libraries will have a copy of Scott's Postage Stamp Catalog of the World. First of all, you have to identify the specific stamp or card. That in itself can be a daunting task, but most of the catalogs are well illustrated with lots of information. Once you know what item you have, the catalog will provide a set of prices that can be used to estimate value.

There were no stamps in 1815. The first postage stamp was introduced in 1840.

On US stamps, Abbott and Costello appeared on a 1991 issue. There were probably foreign stamps picturing movies stars before that.

Just for your knowledge, the stamp is Scott Catalogue number 1107, printed in 1958.

This is a very common stamp in both mint and used condition. The true market value wouldn't be much more than the face value. Most dealers and collectors still commonly use this stamp as postage on letters!

The one certainty in the world of first-day cover collecting is that blank first-day covers are virtually worthless in today's stamp collecting marketplace. In general, only stamps canceled with the first-day date are deemed collectible without a cachet.

This varies. There were seven stamps issued with the G on it. There are only four of them that you would actually have access to. There were two for the Post Card Rate for 20 cents. The First Class rate which would be 32 cents face value and the Make Up rate with a value of 3 cents (used with 29-cent stamps).

There is also the Pre-sort Bulk mail at 20 cents and the Official 32 cent stamp and a 5 cent Non-Profit stamp. There was a blue Old Glory stamp worth 25 cents, used for First Class Presort only.

This doesn't entirely answer your question, but let me point you in the right direction.

In 1997 one pair of the imperf was listed as $110. That was for 1 single pair of them.

Hard to say how much a sheet is worth. Whatever you do, don't tear the sheet apart, and selling pairs, you might end up devaluing it. I'd contact 2 or 3 reputable stamp dealers and have it evaluated. If you don't have stamp dealers in your area look up, on the internet, stamp clubs in your area that might be able to supply you with proper contacts.

Don't simply sell it on eBay or anywhere until you get it valued.

The is a recent stamp with little collector's value. If unused, it is still valid for postage at 37 cents. If used, it wholesales for about 50 cents per hundred.

It's worth 22 cents

There is no standard size for a postage stamp. Stamps come in all shapes, sizes, designs and values. The most common shape is rectangular and either vertical or horizontal. Many countries produce square, round, triangular and diamond shaped stamps. Some countries produce stamps with non-geometric shapes such as a map of the country. Some stamps are very big, others are very small. Some stamps have a smell impregnated into them, some have a moving picture, some are gummed, some are self-adhesive, some even have patterns in the perforations.

Four cents if you use it for postage. The value to a collector will depend on what stamp it is and what its condition is. You can consult a stamp catalog to find the information that will tell you if it has any value. Chances are if there is nothing special about it it is worth just a few cents.

No, you cannot. International mail is controlled under the International Postal Union, an organization that is part of the United Nations. You use the postage of the country in which the letter is mailed, in this case, Canada.
