The United States Postal Service announced on
Thursday, August 9, 2007 at a media briefing held at the APS StampShow in
Portland, Oregon that they planned to issue a series of 60 Commemorative
Flags in coil format in a program called "Flags of Our Nation".
The flags will be issued in alphabetical order in coils of 50 stamps, probably starting in June of 2008. There will be 10 different designs on each coil and each flag will repeat five times. The first ten stamps are pictured above. The total series, consisting of 50 State Flags, four American Flags, five territories and the District of Columbia, will be issued over a three year period, with two coils being issued each year. The coils probably will be attached at the sides, according to the preliminary art work. The second set of 10 flags will be for the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Kansas. There is no definitive word at this time if the coils will contain plate numbers. |
