<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2810644, member: 15062&quot;]Coins, used or not, do have intrinsic value.&nbsp; Stamps are collected whether used or unused.&nbsp; The used ones have zero value (except for their possible collectability), the unused ones have their collectability value and still have face value so they can be used for postage, regardless of their age.&nbsp; [I do understand the difference between intrinsic value and face value.]</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, stamps still have followers and occasionally have fairly large auctions for which sale values are a matter of record.&nbsp; i have a large collection of US stamps and postal stationary which I am trying to sell off.&nbsp; I tried some of the larger dealers and was told they don&#039;t even want anything newer than 1940.&nbsp; Most things older than that, other than the really rare stuff, is worth (to them) maybe 10-20% over face value for unused items and, much less for used.&nbsp; I have about 200 items on ebay which I have listed for 1/3 their auction prices and have only sold about 20 things so far.&nbsp; I should have gotten out years ago, but if I&#039;m ultimately stuck with them I can at least use them for postage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
