Well, if you're a modern mint US collector and these proposed rates come to pass, you'll have about $60 face value in the new stamps produced to handle these tiny 5 cent rate increases on the high face value stamps. Leastwise, I would be surprised if it turns out that there are not new stamps produced - it would certainly be viable to simply add a 5 cent stamp alongside the existing high-value issues but I wouldn't expect things to turn out that way.

I do not think you will see many new stamps just due to rate change. I would expect a second ounce rate, priority mail, and express mail. Forever stamps reduced that need but then also reduced collectible varieties (same design in multiple formats and printers).
