Stamp Collecting (Philately)

Stampin' Up has their own factory in which they manufacture their own stamps in Kanab, Utah.

For letter it is .85

About a $1.

Not really, though it is possible it might go through. It would fit the definition of irregular shape. It would mess up the mail handling machines and would probably rip the envelope and they would get lost. A padded envelope or small box would be better.

Answer

Put it in a sturdy envelope or cardboard envelope--or wrap it with a piece of cardboard. Mark the envelope to "hand stamp only." You might wrap the envelope with clear packing tape, too.

Deed stamps are revenue stamps attached to land deeds to pay taxes on the transfer of title.

NG (No Gum) is what happens when a stamp has no adhesive. Early stamps were made without gum on them, so the user needed to have his own glue or paste to affix the stamp to the envelope. This might be that it went through the mail without being cancelled and was soaked off the envelope, or it got wet and lost it. OG (Original Gum) is obviously worth more to a collector.

This stamps is listed in the Scott Postage Stamp Catalog as number 928. The catalog value is 20c used or unused. This is the minimum value assigned to any stamp. It is not uncommon to to see stamp dealers and stamp collectors use this on their mail.

Postage stamps are good for any point in time. The US hasn't devalued postage since the Civil War. You can always ask the postal clerk at the time of sale how long you have to use it.

These came out May 10, 1971. One is claret , the other black with red lettering.

In used condition it is not worth anything. In mint condition it is probably worth 2 times the face value.

Yes it will be delivered. That would be enough postage for two ounces at today's rates. US Postage stamps haven't been devalued in over 100 years.

Scott Number 1193 pictures the Mercury Capsule. This 4c stamp was issued in 1961. It has a minimal value used and can be purchased for 40 cents in mint condition.

Assuming you are talking about a first class letter stamp (regular stamp) then yes, however the current first class letter rate is 0.44 cents, so you would need to either use 2 on a letter (so that it equals more than 0.44), or buy 0.01 cent or 0.02 cent stamps at the post office (or online at usps.com) to add in order to bring the value up to 0.44 cents

Scott number US 1405 issued in 1970. It can be purchased for around 40 cents in mint condition and 15 cents used.

Scott 1933 was a commemorative picturing golfer Bobby Jones. This 18 cent stamp was issued in 1981. It can be purchased in mint condition for $1.95 and used for 35 cents.

2¢ - Scott #707 The likeness of Washington by Gilbert Stuart from a painting made at Germantown, Pa., in 1796, known as the Atheneum portrait, the original of which is now in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. (4,222,198,300 issued)

The bicentennial stamps were first placed on sale January 1, 1932, at the post office in Washington, D.C.

While the bicentennial issue presents many unfamiliar images of Washington, the Post Office took care to place the widely loved Gilbert Stuart portrait of the president on the 2-cent stamp, which satisfied the normal first-class letter rate and would therefore get the most use. Several months after the series appeared, however, the first-class letter rate was raised from 2 cents to 3 cents. The greatly increased demand for 3-cent stamps remained unsatisfied by emergency reprintings of the 3-cent bicentennial issue and the 3-cent Lincoln regular issue then currently available. Moreover the new rate meant that the only Washington stamp available to the public for everyday use was one that offered a little-known and quite uncharacteristic image of Washington. Accordingly, the Post Office felt obliged to rush a new regular issue 3-cent stamp into production that offered a more familiar Washington portrait. Rather than taking the time to create a completely new design, the BEP revamped the bicentennial 2-cent Atheneum value as a 3-cent stamp (Scott #720), transforming it into a regular issue by eliminating the date ribbons flanking the portrait. This was printed in the standard 3-cent color.

Tonga is a country that specializes in making money by creating unusual postage stamps to spur interest in the collecting community. They were one of the first countries to have self adhesive stamps. In addition to ovals, they had banana and shell shaped stamps.

If you are in California, at the current time they are $43.75 for a book of 100 stamps, which is cheaper than the post office by .25.

At this point there is no expectation that a Forever Stamp will not be valid. It was designed to be used for the first ounce of First Class Mail in the US. Other than Special Delivery Stamps, no US stamps have been invalidated for postage since the Civil War.
