1865 Newspaper & Periodical Stamp (3)

Own Newspaper & Periodical U.S. Revenue Stamps

Seldom-seen stamps measure a full 2 x 3 3/4 inches – and are the perfect showcase to enjoy the craftsmanship of yesterday’s master engravers.

Beginning in 1865, these revenue stamps prepaid postage on bulk shipments of newspapers and periodicals.  The 1865 25¢ stamp represents a philatelic milestone – it’s the very first U.S. stamp to feature Abraham Lincoln.

Small flaws in these classic stamps allow significant savings off Mystic’s regular retail prices without detracting from their beauty or desirability.  Save when you order our special set of three (PR2-4) stamps.
