Question I found seven 1963 Kennedy five cent stamps in my late father's things. They are in perfect conditon. Do they have any value? What do I do? I'd like to sell them.
Answer Hello Sandra,
Thanks for your question.
The stamp you are asking about is Scott # 1246 and was actually issued in 1964 on May 29.
If you went to buy these stamps at a dealer, they would cost you about 20c each. Selling to a dealer, you would receive anywhere from 205 to 30% of that value depending on condition and demand.
Thanks again for your question.
Terry
