The stamp can be purchased new or used for 15 cents, which pretty much means that a dealer isn't going to pay you anything for one.
Identify the exact stamp using a catalog. This may involve learning about perforations, watermarks and colors as well as condition. The catalog will provide a value. The value is what a collector could expect to pay for a stamp in fine/very fine condition. If selling, most cases you would be lucky to get 75% of the catalog, unless it is very valuable, then an auction would be worth looking into. The most common American catalog for identification is Scott's. Others are Stanley Gibbons, Minkus and even the US Postal Service Catalog of stamps.

Why is downtown Manhattan called Wall Street?
the reason downtown Manhattan is known as wall street is because when the settlement was originally built there was a dividing wall between the settlers and the native injuns
Free-roaming hogs were notorious for rampaging through the precious grain fields of colonial New York city farmers. The Manhattan Island residents chose to limit the forays of these riotous hogs by erecting a long, permentant wall on the northern edge of what is now Lower Manhattan. A street came to border this wall- aptly enough named, Wall Street.
The downtown area is not called Wall Street. Wall Street is the name of a street in Downtown Manhattan. There are many neighborhoods that make up Downtown Manhattan such as Chelsea, Soho, China Town, Little Italy and a few more which include the Finacial District where Wall Street is located. Now the street is aptly named Wall Street because it was once a wall, just like Water Street was once a stream and Bridge Street was once a bridge, and so forth. I hope I cleared up any confusion.
When the Dutch settled in New York, they built a wall around their colony. This was done to keep intruders out. Eventually the wall was taken down, but pieces of it still remain. This is also the reason why the area around Wall St. is so oddly shaped compared to the rest of Manhattan, which is generally in a grid-like manner.

How did New York's Wall Street get its name?
- The name of the street derives from the fact that during the 17th Century, it formed the northern boundary of the New Amsterdam settlement where the Dutch had constructed a crude wall of timer and earthwork. The wall was meant as a defense against attack from Lenape Indians, New England colonists, and the British, but it was never tested in battle. The wall was dismantled by the British in 1699. Additionally, the name now represents high finance, investment banking and stock trading.
- The wall was built on orders from Peter Stuyvesant.
