Hello,

just doing some sorting of mnh US material and have come across the forever stamps ( 55c I beieve ) but have also come across forever / 1st class and 1st class.

Am I right in thinking that each of these would have a face value of 55c.

Best wishes,

Brian....sorting on a rainy day in Kelso in the Scottish Borders.

The stamps marked first class are the rate at the time of issuance; the forever stamps change with rate changes.
