Issued 28 January 2014 for the bicentennial of Francis Scott Key’s poem, this design sets the Stars and Stripes against a red firework burst on a black field — “the rockets’ red glare” made literal.
You receive a complete booklet of 20 self-adhesive Forever stamps with the printed cover.
A note on the printing varieties
Three security printers produced this design, and the booklets differ only in die-cut gauge and where the “USPS” microprint sits. This listing is the Sennett Security Products printing, plate number prefix S, catalogued as Scott 4870. The Ashton Potter booklet is Scott 4855 and the CCL booklet is Scott 4869 — worth knowing if you are completing the set rather than buying postage.
Mint never hinged, original gum, shipped flat.
