Spring 2025 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 5 D501 to D503 — George Washington — (mini-set of three) — 2-22-82

This issue commemorated the 250t11 Anniversary of George Washington's birth. I decided to do three distinctive cachets for this distinguished stamp of a side-view of Washington's head placed over a colorful flag of the United States. These three cachets represent his early years as a surveyor (D502), his middle years as a military officer (D503) and his later years as a political leader and president (D501). Each cover has two of the George Washington stamps placed on the right with large and very meaningful official and unofficial cancels. Please take a close look at the three wonderful George Washington FDCs on the attached color sheets. These covers have not appeared previously in one of my mail sales
