This is a common US regular issue

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

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- 65% face and

1/4 cent if used. The money they would charge you for it is mostly for labor.

I think it is a nice stamp and I would certainly keep a nice copy for my collection. If you more than one, maybe you can trade it for another similar stamp .

The value of a stamp depends on many factors, one of which is are you buying or selling?

If your mind is set on getting just this one particular stamp, you should be able to find a dealer who will sell you one for 20 cents for a mint copy or for a very fine used copy.

If you want a used copy and want several other stamps, you should look for a mix or packet-- you might likely find one of these for 1 cent or less-- or look for a collector who likely would give you a used one or sell you a mint one for face value.

If you want a mint copy, and don't know any collectors, you can find dealers offering mixes of mint stamps for less than face and you might find one of these in such a lot.

It really depends on a lot of factors. However, because of the proliferation of counterfeit stamps, due to the printing techniques of older stamps being too easy to replicate, most older stamps, which had a value of a few dollars are now worthless. The stamp collecting industry has dropped by over 90% the past few years.

There are two such stamps. They have the Scott catalog numbers 803 and 1030. Both have the catalog value of 20 cents, mint or used.

Scott # 1030

Minimal value of 15 cents, meaning it is hardly worth the effort of having it in stock.
