How much is a US one cent stamp with the ability to write a book of democracy worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The value of the stamp would be nominal (1 cent) as it is no longer in use. However, if it is a rare collectible item, its value could potentially increase based on demand from philatelists or stamp collectors. The subject matter of being able to write a book of democracy would not directly impact the stamp's value.

Asked by Wiki User

That would depend a great deal on how you define a 'cartoon character.'

In 1995 the US issued Scott #3000, a sheet of 20 stamps commemorating a dozen of the early American Cartoons, some of which are still running in newspapers today.

The first cartoon character is arguably the one issued in 1984 that pictured McGruff, the crime dog. Bugs Bunny was the first animated cartoon character to appear on a US postage stamp in 1997.

Are first class stamps used the same as regular stamps?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nothing, really. Most mail is assumed to be sent First class, which is the standard or regular mail. If you are sending merchandise, you can reduce the cost, but it will not get certain priority handling. There are many different rates that can be used in bulk mailing, but First Class is usually going to be your best bet.

Value of a George Washington 1732-1982 20 cent stamp?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Scott Number 1047

Mint, this stamp is a bit over the minimal value. Minimal value for this stamp in a used condition indicates that the cost is in packaging and tracking and not the stamp itself. A dealer isn't going to be interested in purchasing a single copy. You would be better to use it for postage rather than trying to sell it. Or trade with another collector!

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Golden replica stamps by Postal Commemorative Society have no value... there's not even 5 cents worth of gold in them... the gold is not even goldleaf... it's a spray over 3 layers of adhesive bound paper, then polished.

PCS scammed thousands of people into buying these... avoid buying more at all costs.
