Nah - I think Im going to enjoy them for a while and wonder about the possibilities - it's neat getting these things still sealed after 50 plus years - don't see them very often like this.

Put them on the buy & sell stamp forum.

The stamps aren't worth diddly by themselves ... with the envelopes ... hard to say what some collector may pay for them.

I can't - there's too much dust and cobwebs down there - can't see anything

Cancelled stamps don't command the higher prices as do unused stamps. I just sold a whole bunch of stamps but most were cancelled out. Needless to say I was a bit dissapointed but very few collect stamps today and the market has weakend since I started colecting. Did you post on the stamp forum? Those guys would know the values.

never seen a set like it it a FREAK!

Open those suckers. What the heck are you waiting for.

The stamps are worth about 2 cents each, but you have to soak them off the envelope.

Edit: Ok, looks like Lablover looked them up, and the three are worth 50 cents.

Tell you what -- send them to me, unopened, and I'll give you a buck and save you the trouble.

You must be an old geezer to want something such as this.

These things are ancient! I don't know if dirt had been discovered when these were made

Prolly couldnt give the stamps away !

Even unused stamps,unless rare,are worth 70 % of face !

midwestcoin13

together though there were a premium

Besides, they're modern crap and you need to quit spamming the board. Or at least me!!! (wink)

That's cool having the original envelope from the Treasury with the stamps on it. Worthless stamps as everyone said though as I inherited a stamp collection(a box with thousands of them from late 1800's to 1960) from my grandfather. Almost all of them cancelled though. Might be a good *trap* to dump on eBay as an *unsearched* hord of stamps.

There is an envelope and letter from 1954 from the White House with a handwritten copy of a letter Mamie wrote to my grandmother, so at least something was cool out of it.

For some reason I knew this thread was gonna cost me a bunch of money.

The coins inside are for face value...

however, the stamps will cost ya a little over the going rate...


sell 'em like dot.

These unopened sets are one of the last treasures to be found- I compare them to finding an original BU. unopened roll of Morgans. I have little will power and I would have opened them right away . Mike
