I have a 1902 Indian head penny that's in an envelope with a first day issue Indian head stamp to go with it. I know the stamp and the penny by themselves are not really worth much, but was wondering if the combination of the two had any value. The envelope is stamped Kansas city Jan 11 1978 and the envelope has a " 1978 by Florida rare stamps and coin gallery Limited edition.



Thanks in advance for your help.

It sounds like it was a gimmick. It would have made more valueable with a 1858 Indianhead Penny, 1st with 1st.

Unfortunately, the cover is damaged. A dealer will typically toss it in the 10c-25c cover bin, or toss it away to keep it from damaging other items.

If it were in perfect condition, the dealer might get $1 if patient enough.

Basically, any time you see "Limited Edition", more often than not, it means "limited value".

Of course, we all know the stamp is somebody's favorite!
