The Postal Commemorative Society has been authorized by the United States Postal Service to re-create each remarkable new stamp in glittering 22kt gold. A must for philatelic collectors! Each 22kt Golden Replica of U.S. stamps, produced by the PCS, is not an ingot or a medallion but are an exact replica. Each 22kt Gold Replica comes displayed on an official First Day Cover bearing the U.S. stamp which it replicates. This format is considered by many to be the best way to collect First Day Covers. Each bears the First Day of Issue postmark for the underlying stamp. This one of a kind, unique postmark can never again be repeated and demonstrates the limited-edition status of the Cover. Each 22kt golden Replica becomes part of an Official First Day Cover postmarked by the U.S. Postal Authorities with the Official First Day of Issue Postmark. Each Replica comes with a commentary card describing the important American institutions, people and pastimes honored on each U.S. stamp. Each card is written in an informative way and exclusively for the PCSs 22kt Golden Replicas program. Commentary Cards are specially researched and written by experts on American history and U.S. stamps.
