These stamps were given to me and I have no idea if they are worth much at all. Does anyone know if they are worth much besides their postage value? Thanks for any reply's...

I would say most of these are slightly damaged, so wouldn't have any value other then the face value for postage.
There is one perfin, that would be good to hang on to. Third stamp over and down. The 3 cent purple Washington.

They aren't more expensive, but just more collectable to a lot of people. Although there are some that are worth more then just the stamp itself.
Most of the common ones do trade for less though.

Welcome to Stamp Community Forum, llm1977!!

In case nobody noticed, that perfin was punched upside-down. Reversed perfins are not that unusual, but inverted perfins are not as common.

Don't think I would use stamps this old for postage. Just keep them and enjoy them.

Thanks for the welcome to the forum.

I am not sure if this is allowed here but if anyone is interested in buying them please feel free to make an offer. I am an ebay powerseller so if you would only feel comfortable making a transaction over ebay just let me know. Thanks
