1991 Numismatics
- First Day Cover
- Honors the hobby of coin and currency collecting
- Issued for 100th anniversary of American Numismatic Association
Category of Stamp: Commemorative
Value: 29¢, First-Class Mail rate
First Day of Issue: August 13, 1991
First Day City: Chicago, Illinois
Quantity Issued: 150,310,000
Printed by: Bureau of Engraving and Printing
Printing Method: Lithographed, engraved
Format: Panes of 50 (10 across, 5 down)
Perforations: 11
Reason the stamp was issued: This stamp honors coin and currency collectors. It was issued on the 100th anniversary of the American Numismatic Association.
About the stamp design: The Numismatics stamp was designed by V. Jack Ruther of the BEP. He had designed the Banking and Commerce stamps of 1975 (#1577-78). He borrowed coins from the Smithsonian Institution for the new stamp. Ruther chose coins popular with collectors: the 1907 gold Double Eagle and the 1857 1¢ Flying Eagle. The paper money came from BEP’s own vault. He picked a $10 bill from the Series of 1902 and a $1 US note issued in 1875.
About the printing process: The original die for the Numismatics stamp was engraved in 1975. When the stamp was added to the schedule for 1991, a proof of the original engraving was scanned and some color changes were made. The paper currency was re-engraved, but the coins were produced using offset lithography.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony took place at the 100th American Numismatic Association convention. The first convention was held in Chicago in 1891, so the stamp was given a Chicago postmark, although the convention was held in nearby Rosemont.
Unusual thing about this stamp: The postmaster general had approved this stamp design in 1977. Plans changed in 1980, when it was decided not to issue the stamp at that time. Ten years later, the subject was brought up again, and the Numismatics stamp design was revealed at the American Numismatic Association convention in Washington state that year. The stamp was finally issued the following year.
History the stamp represents: The American Numismatic Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the study and collection of coins and paper currency. It was founded in 1891 and since then has promoted the hobby through conventions, publications, and educational programs. The ANA also has the Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
