Mailing Value and Collecting Value Are Different
A genuine unused ordinary Forever commemorative stamp carries the current one-ounce First-Class Mail letter-rate value. Collector value depends on the exact issue, format, condition and market evidence. An older issue can remain valid for mailing without automatically having a resale premium.
