Roll or book: which should you buy?

The per-stamp price is identical either way. A roll of 100 simply saves trips if you mail regularly, and the coil format feeds more easily through stamp dispensers. There is no bulk discount for buying a roll. USPS reserves discounted postage for high-volume commercial mailers using presorted mail.

Do rolls of stamps expire?

No. Forever stamps stay valid indefinitely and always cover the current First-Class letter rate, no matter what you paid for them. A roll bought years ago at a lower rate still mails a one-ounce letter today. That is what makes leftover rolls worth holding rather than discarding.

Have a partly used roll sitting around? It is worth cash

Unused stamps still in good condition have real resale value. We buy leftover rolls, partial coils and loose Forever stamps from the public, and pay within 3 business days of an accepted offer. See what we pay to sell unused stamps.
