U.S. 1st Issue Revenue Stamps1862-1871Pen Cancelled 05 C. (1862 - Certificate - Sc. #R24 c) - RedI´m not a stamp expert, but these hand cancelled rare 1862 Inter Revenue Certificates are over 120 years old. See the pictures up close for the details of these pretty amazing stamps.The First Issue of US revenue stamps was released between 1862 and 1871. These stamps were finely engraved on old paper, and they all feature the portrait of George Washington. Many of these US revenue stamps were printed from unstable pigments, and their shades can vary tremendously from stamp to stamp.Until December 25, 1862, the law stated that a revenue stamp could only be used for payment of the tax on a particular document whose name was inscribed on the stamp. After that date, these US revenue stamps could be used indiscriminately on any document, regardless of the document name inscribed on each of the stamps.The First Issue can become a philatelic specialty in itself!
