Unfortunately, the producers of this stamp did not realize until well after the issue date that the applied adhesive migrates into the paper; all copies therefore suffer from some discoloring. The stamp design features a dove weather vane atop Mount Vernon. Price: $0.50 Product ID: CH39 United States, 1975 Traditional Christmas Stamp Details  This mint 1975 Christmas stamp (issued Oct. 14) was designed by Stevan Dohanos and features the painting "Madonna and Child," by Ghirlandaio. Due to an impending postage rate change, the stamp was issued without a denomination- the date of a change from 10c to 13c was not known at the time of printing; the stamp ended up being issued prior to the rate change and it is thus a 10c stamp. Price: $0.45 Product ID: CH40 United States, 1975 Contemporary Christmas Stamp Details  Issued on October 14, 1975, this Christmas stamp features an early Christmas card design by Louis Prang. The stamp is non-denominated because a rate change was pending (10c to 13c; this is, however, a 10c stamp). Price: $0.45 « Previous | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10... | Next »
