Rare Full Sheet of Souvenir Atomic bombs end WWII Postage Stamps
ATOMIC BOMBS END WWII. Full sheet of stamps (36 stamps) produced by Mid Coast Marketing. History Denied. Since 1893, the U.S. Postal Service has been designing and issuing stamps to commemorate significant events, places and people in American history. After protests from the Japanese Government officials and intervention by President Clinton, the Postal Service rescinded a planned stamp commemorating the swift conclusion of WWII through the use of atomic bombs. This is the only commemorative stamp ever rescinded by the U.S. Postal Service. The announcement was made public by The White House on December 7, 1994 exactly 53 years to the day after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. In very fine to near mint condition.............$95.00
