Item Description
Grade: VF (Very Fine)Detailed DescriptionIt is a stock image only. If you want to see the picture of the actual stamp, please check with me before you bid or place the order.Plate Number: S111111USPS issued Purple Heart in Year 2014, issued another variety in Year 2015 and reprinted in Year 2016. Please look at the second picture for the visual difference and the details.The U.S. Postal Service continues to honor the sacrifices of the men and women who serve in the U.S. military with the issuance of the Purple Heart Medal stamp that depicts the medal suspended from its purple and white ribbon.The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the President of the United States to members of the U.S. military who have been wounded or killed in action. According to the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an organization for combat-wounded veterans, the medal is "the oldest military decoration in the world in present use and the first award made available to a common soldier."Established by General George Washington during the Revolutionary War, the badge of distinction for meritorious action - a heart made of purple cloth - was discontinued after the war. In 1932, on the 200th anniversary of Washington’s birth, the decoration was reinstated and redesigned as a purple heart of metal bordered by gold, suspended from a purple and white ribbon. In the center of the medal is a profile bust of George Washington beneath his family coat of arms.The Purple Heart Medal stamp, first issued in 2012, is a redesign of the Purple Heart with Ribbon stamp. Ira Wexler photographed the medal. Art director Jennifer Arnold designed the stamp.AbbreviationsDCP - Digital Color PostmarkFDC - First Day Coverhorz - horizontalimperf - imperforatedMNH - Mint Never HingedNDC - No Die CutNMS - Non Machineable SurchargePNC - Plate Number Coilvert - verticalWAG - water activated gumMultiple VariationsIf you see a OR sign in the picture, this means there are multiple variations available for this item.
