Hello, how are you? I found this 1C Benjamin Franklin stamp that belonged to my grandfather, I don't know anything else. About how much would it cost?

Hi Felipe. Your stamp is not in the best shape ( misperforated ), but still a nice one.
I have no idea about value, but you might want to check a place like ebay and see if a similar looking one has sold

If it has no grill, then it is Scott #63.

Yes, if there's a grill, it's generally worth more than without. Color varieties exist and there's two issues without grill, so seeing the back would be quite useful to tell you an approximative value.

Looks like it has a crease through Ben's head.

Condition, condition, condition.

It appears to be a Scott # 63, as previously stated. Cat value of $45 IF in sound, fine condition. Yours has an unattractive heavy cork cancel, has average centering, and a possible crease, not to mention other potential issues.

If you posted that to ebay as-is, you'd be lucky to get $3 - $5.
