The Liberty Bell is pictured on the Forever Stamp. They are worth the current value of a first class stamp, which is 44 cents in 2009. They can only be used for US addresses.
Yes, you can still use a Forever stamp issued by the United States Postal Service in 2009. This was the revolutionary idea of the Forever stamp - you can purchase a first-class stamp at today's price then not have to purchase additional postage later when the price goes up. The stamp is called the "Forever Stamp" because it will be valid forever for a first class envelope.
what is the value of a 2009 silver eagle dolar
Yes. The Liberty Bell Forever stamps can be used at the current First Class rate forever... hence the name "Forever stamp". They are worth whatever the current First Class rate is. For example, the rate currently (Dec. 2010) is $0.44. The Forever stamps are worth that amount right now, even if they were purchased at a lower rate before the increase in May 2009. If the rate would happen to increase again, the Forever stamps would be valued at whatever the new rate would be, whether they are purchased before or after the increase.
Face value only

First Class is 44 cents
All stamps issued by the US since the end of the Civil War are valid for their face value. If there is no value shown, visit the USPS web site for a chart of the value of the undenominated stamps that they have issued. There is also a new 'Forever' stamp. This is being issued at the current cost of a First Class stamp and will be valid for one unit of First Class postage 'forever' regardless of what the price goes up to.
Try 5 cents. ;)
It is worth the current postage for mailing a regular (first class, up to 1oz) letter in the USA. As of 7/7/2009, 44 cents. The forever stamp is sold at the current rate, but can be used in the future even if rates go up. That's why it's called the forever stamp.
The cost of a Forever Stamp in the US is whatever the current cost is for sending a 1 ounce letter by First Class Mail. As of June 2009, that is $0.44.
Use the postage calculator on the USPS website to figure out the first class postage due for the weight of your envelope, then divide by the current first class stamp price, then round up to determine how many forever stamps to use. As of 4/2009, forever stamps are worth $0.42 each, but their value will increase to $0.44 next month when postage goes up.
