I have some Christmas stamps from '09 and I don't know anything about the postal system lol so I was just wondering if I could use them to mail a letter
I had old stamps and I returned them to the postal office to get cash value. I didn't want to buy the penny or 2 cent stamps to add on to my envelopes with the old stamps for mailing.
If they are less than 46 cents in value, you would have to purchase stamps so that your stamps and the stamps you purchase come up to 46 cents
For example, if they have a face value of 43 cents, you would have to buy a 3 scent stamp and put it on with the 43 cent stamp. .Your local post office would have 3 scent stamps on hand.
