Slightly above trash monetarily. Priceless as a hobby of fun, entertainment, educational, mentally stimulating and for me "armchair travelling."

I like the USA history theme and I also see a French aspect in the mix.

Monetary value = Minimal

Value if one would investigate the history/people/background/philatelic history/art depicted on the stamps = Priceless

Additive Note: It looks like redwoodrandy and I agree.

Hi Yoann

See nothing of value, what one would see in a childhood collection.

Welcome.
As others have said, a good start to a great hobby but no significant monetary value. You can learn more about your Washington/Franklins here http://www.stampsmarter.com/1847usa...ntifier.html

Hello. Thanks for your advice.
I have a hard time counting the perforations.
You talk about green and red stamps but I have trouble identifying them. Red is cut up and down is normal or it's a scissors

Yoann, welcome to the forum. A little advice. Counting perorations does not do a whole lot of good - you need a perforation gauge. If you need one you can print one off the internet. www.stampsmarter.com has one that is printable.
The red stamp that is "cut up" is normal - a large sheet of these were cut up into four panes of 100 at the printers. Hope this helps?

Peter

Looks to me like the first 2c red is a heavily off center coil rather than a sheet margin stamp
