Value of a Buffalo Bill Cody Stamp
- The first Buffalo Bill stamp was issued as part of the "Legends of the West" series, a four-color stamp that appeared on a sheet with 19 other portraits and western images. Collectors know it by the catalog number of Scott 2869b.
- The second Buffalo Bill stamp is the Scott 2177. This stamp was issued as a definitive stamp, meaning the production of the stamp was unlimited. It is a monochrome, head-and-shoulders portrait of Cody in light brown on a white background.
- The 2869b stamp has a "catalog value" of 50 cents. To earn catalog value, the stamp must be clean, free of damage and uncancelled.
- The 2177 Buffalo Bill stamp has a catalog value of 20 cents. However, this stamp is still circulating and can still be used for postage and so has minimal collector's value.
