Books of Forever stamps usually come in books that contain 20 stamps, or a coil that contains 100 stamps. Other types of stamps, such as Priority Mail or Global Stamps, will come in sheets that are usually configured to have 4, 10, or 20 stamps per sheet.

Chances are that you will not be able to buy just a single physical stamp online. The amount of work to fulfill and deliver just one individual stamp would not make financial sense. One 63 cent stamp would require multiple dollars of overhead including packaging, shipping, and labor costs.
