This SIPEX issue was released to recognize the Sixth International Philatelic Exhibition at Washington, D.C., in 1966. It was the first international stamp show ever held in the Nation's capital.
Opening Of SIPEX
All five previous US international philatelic exhibitions had been held in New York City. Initially, SIPEX was also to be held there, but disagreement among the show’s planners nearly canceled the event.
The show came to an end on May 30 and was deemed a success by both planners and visitors.
