Product Description
1863-1864 Confederate States Jefferson Davis Stamp – When the Civil War began, the U.S. demonetized its circulating stamps and reissued new ones to prevent the Confederacy from using its existing stockpiles. In response, the South quickly organized a post office and printed its own postage. A surviving example is this four margin, never hinged blue 10¢ stamp that features the Confederate States' president, Jefferson Davis.
Complete "Unofficial" 1995 Civil War 20-FDC Collection – The USPS released a collection of 20 different 32¢ stamps featuring a variety of Civil War participants and events on June 29, 1995 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A complete collection of first day covers canceled in Gettysburg sells elsewhere for significantly more, but we've sourced an extra-special deal! Our set of covers was also canceled that same day, but not at the official city of release. Instead, these "unofficial" collectible covers were canceled at Beauvoir, the home of the Confederacy's president, Jefferson Davis in Biloxi, Mississippi. Envelope artwork may vary.
