Discover the Stock Transfer Imperforate Stamps…

As you know, Stock Transfer stamps covered the federal tax rate on “sales or agreement to sell, deliver, or transfer share certificates of stock.” The stamps were first issued in 1918, when the tax became permanent. Beginning in 1940, they were overprinted with the year of use in black. (Previously, Documentary stamps overprinted with “Stock Transfer” were used.) Authorities in the Treasury Department were concerned about evasion of documentary and stock transfer taxes. The year of use overprint allowed the department to track how many stamps were issued and to track transactions to the correct year. The following year, the same basic stamp was used, but with “1941” imprinted and so on… until 1952 when the stamps were discontinued. Because of their overprint and bright green color, they’re called “the dated greens”.
