About Stamp

A plain tablet; above the oval, surrounding the head, are the words 'United States postage' and underneath the tablet are the words 'Two cents.' It may be added that the tablet is shaped like the shield on the 3-cent stamp of this series and that the figure "2" separates the words "Two" and "Cents" which form a straight line resting partly on the point of the tablet and partly on the darkly shaded ground below. This is the first stamp of the series with the legend unabbreviated. The medallion is elliptical, and bears the profile bust of Washington.
