First issued up to 75 years ago! On the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States, PCS Stamps & Coins presents The Complete Collection of U.S. Civil War Stamps — a compelling tribute including every U.S. Civil War stamp issued over the past 75 years, plus the all-new Sesquicentennial set being released from 2011 through 2015! The mint-condition stamps in this unprecedented collection create a vivid pictorial history. Dating back to the 1930’s, the stamps mark important battles, such as Gettysburg, Shiloh and Bull Run. Also honored are American men and women who played crucial roles, among them Generals Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant, Presidents Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln, and civilians Clara Barton and Harriet Tubman — heroes all. Most of these historic stamps are out of print and not sold in any post office. Each passing day, they are becoming increasingly scarce — making it extremely difficult to assemble such a collection on your own. Each stamp you receive will be in mint condition — even the hard-to-find earliest issues — preserved in a crystal-clear collector capsule. The Complete Collection of U.S. Civil War Stamps comes with an elegant wooden Display Chest, custom-crafted to showcase all 52 stamps. A Collector Card with fascinating historical narrative and background information will be included for each stamp.
