Description
The 1977 USPS Commemorative Mint Set continues the postal celebration of the Nation's 200th birthday with single issues, including a Charles Peale portrait of Washington at Princeton (Scott #1704), the Marquis de Lafayette (Scott #1716), the Skilled Hands for Independence block of 4 (Scott #1717-20), the Battle of Oriskany (Scott #1722), the Surrender of General Burgoyne (Scott #1728), the Continental Congress in Conference (Scott #1726) and even the 1977 Christmas issue Washington at Valley Forge (Scott #1729). Of course, the Energy Conservation Stamp (Scott #1723) brings back the not so wonderful memories of long lines at gas stations and every other day rationing according to license plate number. Sure does make me glad to drive electric today! ! Please review the photos carefully to make sure you approve, and let me know if you have any questions. –Joe
