- Part of the Love stamp series
Category of Stamp: Commemorative
Set: Love Series
Value: 29¢
First Day of Issue: February 6, 1992
First Day City: Loveland, Colorado
Quantity Issued: 835,000,000

Reason the stamp was issued: This stamp is the 14th in the popular Love series of stamps.
About the stamp design: The 1992 Love stamp was designed by Boston artist Uldis Purins, who worked for Sheaff Design Inc., which worked with the USPS on other stamp projects. In her original sketch, the colors were shades of red and orange. The envelop was changed to blue and the background to green.
First Day City: The Love stamp was dedicated at the Hatfield Chilson Center in Loveland, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. This town became a favorite location for Valentine postmarks since 1947.
About the Love Series: The US Postal Service issued its first Love stamp in January 1973. The first stamp was designed by pop artist Robert Indiana. It was not called a Love stamp, and there were no plans to begin a series. The next Love stamp was issued in 1982 and others followed, but the USPS had not declared these stamps a series.
In 1987, the Postal Service announced it would begin issuing a new Love stamp every year. The following year, two Love stamps were issued, one for the First-class rate, and the other for the two-ounce rate. Love stamps remain popular favorites.
