U.S. #4
1875 10¢ Washington imperf.
 
U.S. #4 is a scarce reproduction of America's first stamp, U.S. #2.  The stamps were prepared in conjunction with the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia; however, they were only sold at the office of the Third Assistant Postmaster General in Washington, D.C.
 

The original 10¢ Washington was produced by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson.  In response to an order from the Post Office Department, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing produced these ungummed duplicates in 1875.  The stamps, which were the first by the BEP, were printed with new plates in panes of 50 subjects.  Not officially valid for postage, only 3,883 U.S. #4 stamps were sold to the public.  A few are known in postally used condition.

  • 1847 5¢ Benjamin Franklin, red-brown, thin bluish wove paper, imperforate U.S. #1 - First U.S. Postage Stamp

    On July 1, 1847, the first US postage stamps went on sale.  The 5¢ issue of 1847 (US #1) features a portrait of Benjamin Franklin, the man responsible for organizing America's postal service back in the 1700s.  Postal clerks used scissors to cut the stamps from sheets, as perforations weren't in use yet.  Today, US #1 is a valued piece of American postal history and a lucky find in any condition.
