The 1912-14 series saw several changes to the Washington-Franklin configuration. The George Washington vignette replaced Ben Franklin on the one cent stamp. Also, the one and two cent stamps were redesigned so that the denominations were presented using numerals. On prior issues the denominations on the lower values were spelled out. In other words, the design changed from "ONE CENT" to "1 CENT 1."

These prices for U.S. stamps are provided as a service to Hobbizine readers. They are derived from numerous sources such as dealer price lists, advertisements in philatelic publications, and public auction results. Use these values as a guideline for evaluating the reasonableness of dealer prices, setting up trades with other collectors, and estimating the worth of your collection. The value of an individual stamp is dependent on its centering and condition. The prices listed here are for well centered, undamaged stamps. A particularly nice example might sell for more than the amount listed, while a poor copy might be worth less.
