US 1992 6 Souvenir Sheets Voyages Columbus 16 Stamps Scott 2624-29 Orig Package

Description

In 1992, the nation celebrated the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus and his first voyage to the New World. The US had issued 16 commemorative stamps - the first ever - in 1893 to mark the 400th anniversary, and in 1992 the USPS reproduced those 16 stamp designs on 6 attractive souvenir sheets. The 16 stamps range in denomination from one cent to five dollars. Also, the stamps were reportedly produced in line-engraved intaglio using the original dies from 1892!
The 6 souvenir sheets (Scott numbers 2624 to 2629) are:
First Sighting of Land 1 cent, 4 cent,
Claiming a New World 2 cent, 3 cent,
Seeking Royal Support 5 cent, 30 cent, 50 cent

All of the sheets are in great condition! Also, they come in their original USPS packaging. The 16 stamps total .34 in unused postage, too!
This set would be a wonderful gift to the history buff, or a great addition to any stamp collection!
