OLD Stamps of the USA

[P360NUT]

Hi Again..
Had a chance to look through my grandfathers stamp collection & noticed several pages of stamps from the US.
I have lots more but these ones he had taken the time to put in his album....
I don't have any reference books for dating them and had a quick look on ebay & none of any value stick out.
I have not checked for watermarks or errors etc
Just wondered if any Americans that would have a better knowledge of this type of stamp could help me out.



I'm fairly sure they are in date order but I find the presidents confusing and out of what I know as date history :S
I'm trying to sell them in batches starting at 99p on ebay so if anything is worth more than £3 or £4 I would need to make sure it don't sell for 99p.

I'm guessing this List I found is pretty out??

They go for so much less on Ebay :/

Your pics freeze my computer and I cant see them !!

Are you wanting to know the values on all of these? If so it would take me some time but I have the Scott 2010 set of stamp catalogs that list all US up to 2009 and the world and I could look them up. Are they all used?

Stamps on eBay are barely selling right now. I have two albums with nearly 1,000 stamps each that range from the 1910s to the 1960s, and I can't even get $70 for an album. One of the "official" albums from the era and they are all unused.

[P360NUT]

Capot, It would take a long time to do that, but I just need t make sure there are no really valuable ones.
they are al used yes.

Mart. your internet itself sounds antiquated 

Yes it appears the Stamp market is a bit flooded thanks to ebay :/

The first page is done, I'm going to attach it here. I saved your photos to my drive which makes it much easier as I can blow them up to make identification easier in the catalog. It's not that hard to go through these as they're all in order by date. Since they've all been used they're not really worth a lot only those stamps in 'very fine' condition are really worth anything. But at least by looking at the file(s) I'll be sending you'll know a bit more about the stamp. And since I really don't have that much to do I'll try and get the other pages done in the next few days.

Wow Thanks Chris ( Karma)
That's a HUGE help & I'm surprised how many are not 99p   

[capot1948]

No problem, I'll get the rest done in the next few days. Remember, those prices are for very fine condition. For instance, used stamps will have light or otherwise neat cancellations. I'd say the ones you have are probably not worth more than a few cents each I'm sorry to say.

Thanks again & yep the more I look the more I learn  
 
I came accros a WHOLE bunch more & found this interesting block that I thought Id better get confirmed as not a 99p start ?



a few variations on Ebay but not exactly the same for comparison.  



Edit:: I put on a £50 Reserve I guess ??

This is where I buy my stamps from. This link will show you prices on the Lincoln Memorial stamp. Those that you posted are used and not together as a block, however, this will show you what they would have been worth. I'm still working on the others. Luckily they're in order as they are in my book.

Thanks Chris..
I actually found about 1000 more US today stamps all unsorted.. now making my way through and processing into denominations then eras
What a headache, but I have nothing better to do most of the day.
OH MY how many diffrent types of  red 2 cent stamp am I finding! lol  

EDIT:

using the link you gave, I think my first page top right is a 1862 24c Washington - Catalog # 70 but with a huge cancellation.  
found another Andrew Jackson 2cent 1863 again not great condition but Nice to find.
Thanks again for helping

I'm getting started on the 2nd page, sorry, had other stuff going on lately. Yes, at that link you should be able to identify most. Another hint if you're going to collect stamps, they're worth more if they've never been 'hinged'. That's why mine are in the little protective sleeves. Here are some more links if you're interested in collecting:

I've got the first three pages done. The numbers in ( ) are the look-up numbers at Mystic Stamp. Should have the other three done by the weekend.

Many Thanks.. Would give you Karma if I knew how.

I joined up stampboards.com & am getting help with a few of the other countries like Deutsch Reich
