Rare 1920 U.S. Treasury Savings Stamp
Hard-to-Find and Missing from Most Collections

Only One Available!  

This important Treasury Savings stamp is seldom seen – most collectors aren’t even aware of its existence.  We’ve never even come across one until now.  That makes it all the more exciting to be able to offer the stamp to you.

 The Treasury Savings Stamp was issued by the U.S. Treasury Department after the First World War.  Like War Savings Stamps, also issued by the Treasury, its purchase was a way for people to save or invest money, without giving up a big chunk of their paycheck.  And it was a way to support America by making what was basically a loan to the government.  The stamps were bought individually and attached to a special savings card holding 20 stamps.  When the card was full, the holder could redeem them for Treasury Savings Certificates.  The certificates earned 4½% interest annually until reaching maturity after five years.  

The $1 Treasury Savings Stamp, printed on green tinted paper was the only one of its kind.  Together with other types of savings stamps, it helped raise billions of dollars for the U.S. government, including the funding of two world wars.  Buying savings stamps was a great way for Americans to show their patriotism during wartime.  But by the time this stamp was issued in late 1920, World War I had been over for two years and sales were low, making it very scarce today.
