Hello!

I have become the owner of a larger collection stamps of France. It contains such postal envelopes, what is their real value?





Thx!

It looks like a very nice collection, but the real world value is very difficult to put a figure on.

How much mail was sent from France to Russia in this time period? Is it a common or rare thing?

As always, the condition of the stamps and the covers will have an enormous bearing on value.

The first cover has defective stamps..Trimmed way into the frames ,torn...
The second cover also with defective stamps.
All this reduces the value for both at 50$ (as a cover space filler).

Since each cover is unique, at best, a catalogue can list the value of a stamp on entire.

I think perf12 gave you a current estimate for the first two already.

The 3rd cover "Moscou" retails around 20-25 euros in France.
*Moscow - St. Petersbourg were common destinations at the time.

The pencil prices seem old and have no reference to how reached.

I also find it odd you are asking here on an American (USA) forum rather than one in France.

Lastly, the only way you will ever know the "value" is to sell each cover and the price you get will be the value for that cover on that day.

Yes, best to delete all of the threads dealing with non-US stamps.

Poor quality photo. Take it out of the album and take nice clear photos.
You want people to give
an opinion on stamps like this; make an effort...

Still poor quality. Too much reflection to be sure it is not.

Very nice photo.
Nice mint stamp.
Ii is not the prussian blue stamp. Most likely cobalt blue.
Your stamp does not have the characteristics of the prussian blue stamp.
In your stamp the lower left corner is very squared and without plate defects.
your stamp below;
