I want to share a fun collecting challenge with you – classic US Executive Department Official stamps in your choice of conditions. I say a challenge because the first issue was only in use from 1873 to 1884 for "official" government purposes. Not many stamps made it into collector hands, so it's exciting to hunt them down and see them for yourself.

Let me give you a little background on US Official stamps...
New Stamps Marked a Big Change in Government Policy – You'll Love Having That Important History in Your Collection
Before 1873, US government agencies had free "franking" privileges. This allowed them to send mail without postage as long as the envelope bore an authorized signature. However, some people took advantage of this policy and used their privileges on personal mail. This led Congress to pass legislation on March 3, 1873, declaring a need for Official stamps.
The new Official stamps took their central designs from the expertly engraved "Banknote" stamps picturing portraits of important Americans. The frames were changed for each department, along with the color of the stamps.
Official Stamps Can Be Hard to Come By – Don't Miss Out on This Chance to Own Them
In the end, first-issue US Official stamps were in circulation from 1873-1884 – just over a decade. Since they weren't intended for private use, few made it into collectors' hands. Official stamps are even more of a challenge to find over a century later.
