Face Value 20 Cents | 1983 | Scott 2044

Give your mail recipients a history lesson when they open their letters stamped with these vintage Black Heritage stamps. First issued by the US Postal Service in the 1970s, this ongoing series of stamps commemorates the contributions to American history by black Americans.

Issued in 1983, this stamp honors the contributions of Scott Joplin, a composer known as the ‘King of Ragtime’ for over 100 ragtime compositions, the most famous of which was ‘The Maple Leaf Rag’. These stamps are a perfect choice for anyone with an interest in history or music.

These stamps have a postage value of 20 cents each and can still be used to pay postage on current mail. These stamps are unused with full gum on reverse; however, due to the age of the stamps, we might recommend using a dab of a glue stick before mailing.
