No, not real ones, but I do have some partial sheets of $0.13 stamps sporting the obverse of an 1877 Indian Head Cent.

Acquired them in a trade from my local coin shop.

They are kinda cool. I'm going to keep 4 or more,
I thought about listing the rest in Buy Sell, but didn't know if it would be worth the postage and payment unless someone was willing to pay well above face value for about 20 of them.

Now, how do I get a picture of them linked in here?

Can I make a guess here and assume that we paid 13 cents per a 1st class stamp in .....1977?

I don't know about that.....
It is 1877 because that is THE KEY to the Indian Head cent series. Could have been issued as a Centenial issue. I don't have a stamp 'price' guide anymore, which would have provided info on its year of issue.

I collect stamps also and this one a bit smaller to most stamps. Kind of a mini me. LOL

Not worth anything but face value I am afraid. You really don't get valuable stamps the 1920 -

Stamps have value when there is an odd value to the postage.

As an example let us say that it cost $.01 to mail a 1 oz envelope in 1910. THey made million of $.O1 stamps.

A parcel may require a dollar or two shipping but this was not the norm so they made far less $1 stamps.

The higher the denomination based on the time period helps gauge rarity.

Oh yeah, considering where I got these stamps(the coin/stamp dealers 'postage' bin) I knew they weren't rare.

I just figured other copper cent enthusiasts would enjoy such a neat stamp.
