Classic engraved images appear on new Forever stamps dedicated today

Postal Service today dedicated a souvenir sheet featuring new engravings of classic 19th-century stamps at the World Stamp Show-NY 2016. NEW YORK CITY — Engraved stamps are much-beloved by stamp collectors, or philatelists as they sometimes are known. This is the first time this feature has been included on Forever stamps. The elaborately designed sheet features new versions of six of America's earliest and most alluring stamps, now issued as Forever stamps to make them easily distinguishable from the mid-19th-century originals. They will be sold only as a complete souvenir sheet of 6 stamps, and the price is $2.82 (6X $0.47).
