Hi folks all I know is these are USA revenue stamps or BOB? I generally don't deal with these but they came across my desk. So the question is what have I got in this group? And what sort of value is there if any? Not my area so I hope someone on here knows more about these, thanks for the help

Some of the second issues (the blue and black stamps) have value, especially the 30 and 70 cent, particularly if the do not have cut cancels. The $2.50 first issue at the center right has an example of a cut cancel known as a herringbone.

I can't tell with these postmarks if they are cut since so faint, here is the 70 cent. What sort of value are we talking?

The 2015 catalog value for the 30 cent in VF condition is $160.00; for the 70 cent it is $85.00. Yours do have some condition issues, so the value would be less. Among other things, I can definitely see a cut cancel on the 70 cent, and it looks like the 30 cent might be creased.

I agree with both of rustyc's comments.

And the 70 cent might also be creased lightly through the portrait.

As long as you provide high-res pics like those above and adequately describe flaws, I would think you'd get at least a few bucks for each.
