I pulled these from my father's collection. He must've picked them up about 40-50 years ago. They're in Mint NH condition and look original. Is there any way of telling? Also, what would the value be? Thanks.

Original printing goes for about $50 for the set.
Reprints go for about $2 to $5 for the set.

As to which you have, I do not know.

You need a ultraviolet light to tell the difference between the real stamps and the reprints ,the reprints have a dull white paper and the real ones will be bright white paper.
