Updated January 21:

On February 27, 2015, in Grapevine, TX, the U.S. Postal Service® will issue a non-denominated, presorted standard rate (10-cent value) Stars and Stripes stamp in three designs, in pressure-sensitive adhesive coils of 3,000 (Item 783100) and 10,000 (Item 783200) stamps.

The stamps will go on sale nationwide February 27, 2015.

This year, the U.S. Postal Service celebrates a symbol of national pride with the Stars and Stripes issuance. The design of the three presorted standard stamps, which together form elements of a waving flag, puts a contemporary spin on an American classic. The stamps feature wavy red and white stripes, a blue field, and five-pointed stars. Along the bottom of each stamp are the words “USA Presorted Standard.” Art director Greg Breeding designed the stamps illustrated by Nancy Stahl.
