I am not much of a stamp collector but I have some stamps laying around. Any info would be great.
US stamps:
A 6 cent US stamp with the Flag on a pole and the White House behind it.
A 15 cent stamp with Oliver Wendell Holmes?
2 20 cent stamps with the flag on a pole and a lady sitting in from of a building?
Canada stamps:
The candian flag and mountains and sky in background.
A 20 cent Canada stamp with needles and cones.
A 30 cent stamp with a ladies portait.
A 30 cent stamp with Terry Fox?
pics are at stamps
Any help would be great
Thanks Brent

Based on your scans all the US stamps appear to be coil stamps so I based my references on that.
6c Flag over White House is Scotts#1338a issued in 1969.There were five issues of this stamp only two were coil,the other being Scotts#1338g issued in 1971 and it was 8c.
20c Flag & Supreme Court Scotts#1894 issued 1981
15c Oliver Wendell HolmesOriginally issued from 1965-1978 in sheets as Part of Prominent Americans Series.The one you have appears to be a coil stamp.Either Scotts#1305E issued 1978 or 1305Ei issued 1979.
I do not know what the difference is,but apparently two different dies were used.
I do not know what the value is,but probably just a few cents in used.
Do not know anything about the Canadian stamps.
Hope this helps
