How much is my Franklin D Rosevelt 6c original never been used stamp worth? (MINT)?
I have 12 Franklin D Rosevelt stamps never been used and I need to find out what they are worth to a collector. Theyre from 1950s-1960s. Only one of the stamps has any damage to it from it being torn from the roll. They are even still connected in groups of 3 and 4. So can ANYONE tell me how much they are worth to a collector?
What you have could be one of two things, depending on which way the perforations run.
If they are on the top & bottom, perforated horizontally, then American collectors would call them U.S. Scott number 1298. If the perfs are on the sides, perforated vertically, then they are U.S. Scott 1305.
1298 was first issued on 28 December 1967, 1305 on 28 February 1968.
They are both very common and of little interest to collectors, with one possible exception: Every 100 stamps in coils there occurs a “line pair” — a pair of stamps with a line of ink along the perforations.
The catalog values for mint stamsp are:
1298: single 20 cents, pair 30 cents, line pair $1.10
1305: single 20 cents, pair 30 cents, line pair 55 cents
No one is like to offer you as much as catalog value for your stamps. Don’t think that they are more valuable as singles than as pairs — the Scott catalog minimum is always 20 cents.
Your best value is to use your stamps for postage.
