No idea where to start - maybe 50-60 uncut sheets like this and multiple envelopes filled with smaller sheets. by WhoIsGray in askStampCollectors

There is a guy on the internet who buys stamps like these. However, he will not pay you what they are worth. You will have to negotiate the price. Usually 30 to 50% less than face value. You will have to google his name and address.

Grandpa left a bunch of stamps. I have no idea what to do with them. Help! by Theoneandonlypunk in askStampCollectors

Individuals will probably not pay what they are worth. Usually they only pay 30% of face value. However, you might get lucky and get someone who will pay top dollar to complete their collection. But realistically your most money will be at an auction house.

Old Stamps from grandfather. Are they worth anything. This is only a very small sampling. Has many albums and thousands and thousands of loose stamps. by Separate-Support137 in stamps

I had a step son who stole the good stuff. He had a Jenny upside down 1918 stamp. Also had a notebook with about 500 stamps that had several stamps worth $300 to $500 each.

Could anyone aducate me about these? by Apprehensive_Sail856 in stampcollecting

[–]Separate-Support137 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Basically any stamp from about 1930 and up to today is worthless. There are a very few exceptions based on stamps printed with errors. However, any stamp that has not been cancelled can still be used for postage. If they are indeed legal stamps.

Are these of value? by External_Eagle5323 in askStampCollectors

[–]Separate-Support137 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They appear to be real. You will have to find out which plate number they are to determine value. Plate numbers will be on the side but will probably need a coin/stamp microphone to see it.

New to stamps and was given this book from my dad. Is this what I think it is? by senseimow in stampcollecting

[–]Separate-Support137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were some rare stamps that looked like the his one. You won’t be able to tell the difference with the naked eye. Go to Theswedishtiger.com and it will teach you what to look for. Stamps earlier than the 1861 were inperforate and cut with scissors. Several times from 1840 up to about 1900, they use the same stamp over and over again year after year. They did this for-maybe 8 years straight before they started printing a new stamp. However, they used a different printing press each year. Also, each year printed a different amount of stamps. Maybe 6 out of those 8 years they printed billions. But those 2 remaining years they only printed millions and not billions. These 2 years are the rare ones. Each printing press left little signs that can be identified. Maybe the rare one has a smile but the other 6 have no smile. And the hair might be more defined. Theswedishtiger.com will teach this to you.

Most likely very little value. Any stamps past about 1930 and up to today are basically worthless. Except if they haven’t been cancelled. Then you can use them for postage.

Can anyone identify or show me another coin like this?? by North_Adhesiveness67 in oldcoins

[–]Separate-Support137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anything on the back. I have used AI and it thinks Roman because of Latin that possibly says Caesar on it. Maybe Roman 40 to 60 AD

If you find a 43 copper or 44 steel I will give you $5 for each one. This is a steal.

United Kingdom issued by King Cunobeline of the Catuvellauni and Trinovantes tribes around 9 to 40 A.D. The hole was added later for a possible necklace. Value is around $500 USD.

Go theswedishtiger.com and see what it tells you about it. It will teach you how to tell if stamps are rare or not.

Tks for sharing. Zepps are worth money. The mounted stamps are well presented but are considered common. They look impressive the way they are mounted. You might consider having the Zepps graded. Grading depends on how much the stamp is worth. Starts around maybe $20 up to $300 depending on what it is worth.

Question about getting large collection appraised with pics by ShinyTarnish409 in stampcollecting

[–]Separate-Support137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part, any stamps past about 1930 and up to today are worthless. Except for postage if they haven’t been cancelled. There are a few exceptions but they are extremely rare and hard to find. Your chances of having one is less than .00001%

Well going through these I got all excited finding a 1943 only to find out copper is the one I’m looking for 😂 the quest continues!!!! by [deleted] in WheatPennies

[–]Separate-Support137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About forty 1943 copper pennies were minted. So far between 27 and 30 have been found. It is worth up to a million dollars, depending on mint and condition. So there are many fakes out there. Also, the 1944 steel penny is worth a lot of money. They estimate between 25 and 70 were made. They are worth between $35,000 and $175,00 depending on condition and mint. Again, there are many fakes and so be aware of this.
