Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
Three US postage stamps featuring Uncle Sam in his iconic top hat and suit, saluting. Each stamp bears the denomination '29c' and the country 'USA'. The stamps appear to be from the 1994 issue and are in excellent condition, likely uncirculated, with crisp printing and vibrant colors. The selvage edge is visible, indicating they are part of a larger sheet.
History
This stamp, issued on June 23, 1994, in Washington D.C., is part of the 'Americas Flags' series and commemorates Uncle Sam, a widely recognized symbol of the United States and its government. Uncle Sam's image, often depicted as an elderly white man with white hair and a goatee, wearing a top hat and patriotic attire, has been used in patriotic propaganda and imagery since the 19th century.
Facts
Uncle Sam's origins are somewhat debated, but he rose to prominence during the War of 1812. The visual representation cemented by cartoonist Thomas Nast in the late 19th century became the enduring image. This particular stamp, designed by John Berkey, captures Uncle Sam in a salute, reinforcing his role as a patriotic icon representing the nation.
Value Fact
This stamp is a common but desirable item for collectors of US postal history, particularly those interested in patriotic themes and iconic American figures. While individual stamps in this condition are widely available and typically priced affordably, multiples or stamps from pristine sheets can hold slightly more value. Demand is consistent among Americana and patriotic stamp collectors.
