USEFUL WEBSITES
 
Postage Stamps – Non-denominated - Values
 Non-denominated Postage – from the USPS.
 http://pe.usps.gov/text/qsg300/Q604a.htm
  
 United States Non-Denominated Stamp Values - The United States has issued a number of non-denominated stamps and postal items since 1975 because of unknown values of postage rate increases. Because the new rate increase was unknown, the actual values of the stamps were left off. This page pictures (in color) the non-denominated stamps and postal items with the actual denomination of the stamp shown so that it can be used to deliver mail as it was intended.
