It was one of 3 stamps issued in 1897 to commemorate the new postal building in Lima.

Is this worth anything that would make me trying to find its owner worthwhile. I know it may have sentimental value for its owner so actually I think I'd like to try to find the owner in any case.
If this stamp was in perfect condition the catalogue value is $0.40. In this condition it is worth virtually nothing.

I found on the ground today a stamp that I finally figured out to a Peruvian stamp with Pres Nicolas de Pierola on it. According to what I've found it was produced in 1897. That doesn't seem right. Could the sites I visited mean that 1897 is the year of the president and NOT the year the stamp was produced.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
