IMPORTANT NOTE: after 41 years, as with ALL self-adhesive items, the adhesive on these stamps have started to dry out and also become discolored (the paper used to be bright white originally). All stamps of this particular issue have this effect, and these are about the best ones that I have seen. There is also a cross die-cut into the dove design, done to prevent re-usage.

I have several of these stamps, all identical, the scan is representative of what you will receive. Note: due to the rouletting (perforating) process, some stamps have backing paper rouletted on all sides and some on only 3 sides if they came from the edges of the original sheet.
