The George Washington 2 cent stamp is from the US Fourth Bureau Issues, Scott # 554 carmine Perf 11 issued on January 15th, 1923; with an Average centering in used condition 2025 CV 0.25c.
The other three stamps are from the US Presidential Issues (aka Prexis), all are “On Piece”, meaning they are still attached to a segment of the envelope they were applied to when mailed.
The two Washington 1 cents are both Scott # 804 green Perf 11×10.5 issued on April 25th, 1938; both have “Fine” centering, while one still has selvage still attached. Each have a 2025 CV of 0.25c.
The one John Adams 2 cent is Scott # 806 rose carmine also Perf 11×10.5 issued on June 3rd 1938; with “Fine” centering and some blunted perfs. Commanding a 2025 CV of 0.25c.
BTW “CV” is “Catalogue Value” abbreviated.
Nice first few steps to the beginnings of a US collection.

Thank you. I do have a John Adams 2 cent that has never been used and is in good condition.
But, this doesn’t help me with what they are worth. Honestly, you were writing in a foreign language to me.
My apologies, basically they are little to no real value.
But as I had stated, they are a nice beginnings to a US collection if interested in such.

@jblaha I have bunch of these also… Most of them are removed from the envelopes (some I removed them). They still look nice and fun to collect. I agree, most of these are hardly worth anything. What I found out over the past severals years and collecting stamps for 40 plus years, 99.999% of the stamps have no real value (you won’t get rich). I have some Ben Franklin stamps issued more than 135 years ago and they have no real value…Just enjoy the collection.
Thank you for all of the information! I greatly appreciate it. I have no interest in collecting, it was my grandfathers thing and most of his collection was destroyed in a fire. I do plan on selling what I have if possible.
