Q. What is the Postal Commemorative Society? A. Founded in 1971, the Postal Commemorative Society is America's largest philatelic organization. The Society was built on customer service and satisfaction, which remains their top priority.
Q. What exactly is a "First Day Cover"? A. A First Day Cover is a special limited-edition commemorative envelope that bears both a U.S. postage stamp and a unique First Day of Issue postmark. (This postmark is the official U.S. Government guarantee of its limited-edition status.) For each new U.S. stamp, Postal Authorities designate a date of First Issue and one U.S. city (First Day City) that are important to the person, place, or event being honored on the U.S. stamp. For instance, the 2000 Library of Congress stamp was issued on April 24, 2000, the exact 200th anniversary of the constitution. The First Day City was Washington D.C.
Q. Why are First Day Covers included with the 22kt Gold Stamp Replicas? A. The First Day of Issue postmark identifies the Gold Stamp Replica as a limited edition. That's one reason. Also, the actual stamp and its Gold Replica are perfect compliments - the actual stamp allows you to see how the gold stamp replica matches the original in every detail. What better way is there to capture the beauty and majesty of a U.S. stamp than to replicate it in gleaming 22kt gold!
America's stamps are America's pride — they tell America's story! Here, the U.S. Government pays official tribute to great men and women and their glorious deeds — from Presidents and pioneers to athletes and astronauts.
Each important U.S. stamp is immortalized in gleaming 22kt gold as part of a luxurious, limited-edition First Day Cover. The result is a spectacular philatelic rarity — an heirloom collectible of unsurpassed meaning, beauty, and importance.
Authentic down to the smallest detail
For generations, stamps have fascinated collectors with their exquisite and intricate designs. Nothing could be more appropriate than to replicate them on a gleaming surface of 22kt gold — in replics that resemble fine proof medallions or coins!
Such a task is not easy, however. For each U.S. stamp, skilled craftsmen hand inscribe every detail in deep relief upon a die. This die is then used to strike each replica on thin sheets of paper-backed 22kt gold foil. The result is a masterpiece that precisely parallels the original while surpassing it in splendor!
Limited Editions that become irreplaceable heirlooms!
Each 22kt Gold Stamp Replica becomes part of an Official First Day Cover — postmarked by U.S. Postal Authorities with the Official First Day of Issue Postmark. This cancellation certifies that each Gold Stamp Replica is a limited edition that can never again be issued. These Gold Stamp Replicas will become philatelic heirlooms that can never be replaced... treasures to be prized now and in future generations.
