The U.S. Postal Service continues its
tradition of honoring the Stars and Stripes with the issuance of Four Flags
45-cent First-Class Forever stamps on June 1 at the National Philatelic Exhibitions Stamp Show. This quartet of stamps
features a bright U.S. flag against a white background. A single word appears on
each of the four stamps in large letters: Freedom, Liberty, Equality, and
Justice. The black typeface recalls the look of Colonial-era
printing.
The stamps are being
issued in self-adhesive booklets of 10 stamps for $4.50.
The Four Flags
Forever stamps were originally issued on February 22 in booklets of 20 and coils
of 100 and quickly became some of our best-selling stamps. More than 800 million
sold to-date of 3.7 billion printed.
The new format was created as a customer
convenience for those who want to carry 10 stamps in their wallet or purse.
