US Historical Stamps

I received mail from the Mystic Stamp Company from Camden, New York offering 100 mint-fresh US stamps for $5 with free s&h.

I'm not much into stamp-collecting, but like to look at them.

One was a 4-cent 1962 Project Mercury, the first US man-in-space program.

Others: 1/2 cent Franklin from the 1938 Presidential series.

Six "Overrun Countries" from 1943-1944.

A one-cent Beardless Lincoln from 1959.

Very first "Love" stamp from 1973.

One "Honoring Those Who Helped Fight Polio."

An Ohio Sesquicentennial stamp

A 3 cents "Honoring Those Who Have Served."

3-cent Red Cross "Founded-1864"

1-cent Stamp honoring Jones of the Bon Homme Richard and Barry of the Lexington Revolutionary War Naval officers and ships.

One for Bunker Hill

22-cent Statue of Liberty Liberty 1886-1986

4-cent 1960 Pony Express

Quite a Bit of History in Those Stamps. --Cooter
