Whenever the U.S. first-class rate changes, the Postal Service has to get new stamps into the mail quickly. On January 7, 2001, the price of a first-class letter rose from 33 cents to 34 cents, and the Statue of Liberty was one of three 34 cent designs ready for the change, along with Flowers and Farm Flag. Stamps went on sale in December 2000, before the rate took effect. Some were first printed without a denomination and marked as first-class, so people could use them before and after the change. Later versions were printed with the 34 cent value.
The image is a photograph by Paul Hardy of New York City, and Derry Noyes, a designer from Washington, D.C., created the stamp. The Statue of Liberty was designed in France by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and conceived as a gift from France for the American centennial. It was shipped to the United States in 350 pieces and dedicated on October 28, 1886. In 1984 it was named a World Heritage Site. Lady Liberty has appeared on more than 25 stamps, envelopes, and postcards since 1922.
The stamps came in several forms to meet demand, including self-adhesive booklets, coils, and a water-activated coil. Avery Dennison printed the self-adhesive versions, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing printed the water-activated coil. This set of seven brings together the nondenominated and 34 cent versions in the different formats.
