How do I make this type of stamp in Photoshop ?

I would like to know how to make the innermost curved rings made using right parenthesis.

Two ways. One is to use the vertical text tool on a path. The other way is to create a pattern and use the scripted fill with place pattern along a path.

I would suggest that either Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign are better places than Adobe Photoshop for this task. Not that you can't do it in Photoshop, however, if this is art for a physical rubber stamp, the service provider may require vector data, not raster. It is easy to turn vector into raster if required.

One could also create Smart Objects instances and distribute them via a Script. 

// xonverts to smart object, copies and rotates a layer;

#target photoshop
////// filter for checking if entry is numeric and positive, thanks to xbytor //////
posNumberKeystrokeFilter = function() {
	this.text = this.text.replace(",", ".");
	this.text = this.text.replace("-", "");
	if (this.text.match(/[^\-\.\d]/)) {
		this.text = this.text.replace(/[^\-\.\d]/g, '');
		}
	};
posNumberKeystrokeFilter2 = function() {
	this.text = this.text.replace(",", "");
	this.text = this.text.replace("-", "");
	this.text = this.text.replace(".", "");
	if (this.text.match(/[^\-\.\d]/)) {
		this.text = this.text.replace(/[^\-\.\d]/g, '');
		};
	if (this.text == "") {this.text = "2"}
	if (this.text == "1") {this.text = "2"}
	};
