<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 744092, member: 15199&quot;]When the US issued it&#039;s first stamps in 1847, The first stamp wasn&#039;t black, but the second one was. The low value 5 cents ( stamp #1) was Ben Franklin in red brown. The high value, 10 cents (stamp#2) was George Washington in Black.</p><p><br /></p><p>The red GB#3 is not the best of copies ( even though it is the most inexpensive of the 4 shown). I do love engraved stamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
