Welcome to the stamp community, boxofstamps!





It is hard to tell from the scan. It looks like there are three copies of the 2c first issue internal revenue stamp.
Two of the copies look like they are in pretty good condition. Unfortunately these are common (worth a dollar or less).
However there are many of these types of these stamps which are worth more if they are in good condition.



These stamps are in pretty bad shape with creases, missing pieces, etc.
They are not worth much for that reason (maybe a dollar).
If you have stamps like these in good condition then they could be worth something.

Welcome to the forum Boxofstamps, I am still learning about stamps but some of the folks here can be very helpful with there knowledge.

Welcome boxofstamps, you'll like it here. Everyone is friendly and helpful.

what would be a good place to start to see if I have anything of value. I do have from all over the world.

You could go to freestampcatalogue.com since you know the year of each stamp and look up suggested value there. Remember that the stamps are worth more if in MINT condition--never used, never hinged into an album, original gum, and free of soil, stains, any tears or creases. Those are the hard ones to find! The suggested value is exactly that--a starting point. Also, think about maybe keeping the album for yourself or another family member down the road--possibly your own children some day. (MY,OH,MY--I'm starting to sound like our Forum Fathers! ha)

Good luck to you! Hope to see you here at the forum learning with the rest of us!
