This year the United States Post Office decided to release a stamp to commemorate his centennial. This is however, not the first stamp issued that featured the late President. The first stamp (pictured below) was issued in 2005 with a face value of 37 cents.
However, in 2006 the postage on a first class letter increased to 39 cents. Which caused the USPS to release a statement saying the Ronald Reagan stamp would be re-released with a face value of 39 cents.
And as most reading this blog probably already know...the USPS is releasing another stamp this year with Ronald Reagan as a subject. He will be the first president to appear on a Forever stamp. The stamp was designed by Bart Forbes as an oil wash on canvas. This stamp will release on February 10th.
So, I don't know about anyone else, but I have already pre-ordered my Ronald Reagan stamps along with a First Day Cover (FDC) and a Digital Postmark. (And yes..I am aware that makes me a bit nutty.)
