How Much Are These Worth?

Ive been looking at a collection from my great grandmother and I cant figure out if these are worth only a few dollars or the ones worth much more. Seems to be 11 perforated stamps.

Welcome.
The stamps shown were the workhorses of the early 1920s with literally billions printed. There are some varieties which are rare but the odds of finding one is far less than winning the mega-lottery. Your stamps greatest value is that they are part of your great grandmothers collection.

Obsidian,



Unfortunately these common stamps are not gemstones. The "precancels" (top and bottom rows, canceled with the town and date before being attached to the envelope) can be purchased in volume (10,000) on ebay at 2.5 cents each. The middle row stamp types can be purchased in "kiloware" loads at the rate of 2-3 stamps for a penny. Please note that catalogs price these types at 15-20 cents each, mainly to reflect the labor cost of selling you individual stamps.

Don gave you an excellent response.

May you find many enjoyable moments researching and expanding on your family collection.

Happy hunting.
