Object Details
- Description
- On June 10, 2008, in Washington, DC, the Postal Service reissued Hearts special stamps. Carl T. Herrman of Carlsbad, California, designed the stamps.
- The Hearts stamps were first issued in 2007 with different background colors and different denominations. Nancy Stahl of New York, New York, based her designs on memories of a wide range of intertwined objects, including silver charms and old-fashioned garden gates. The one-ounce denomination features a light green background, and the two-ounce denomination features a pale peach background. These two stamps were available in two formats: 59-cent (2-ounce rate) pane of twenty pressure-sensitive (PSA) stamps and 42-cent (1-ounce rate) convertible booklet of twenty PSA stamps.
- One hundred million stamps were printed in the gravure process by Avery Dennison, (ARV), Clinton, South Carolina.
