This new issue of 1½-cent stamps contains a full-face likeness of the late President in lieu of the profile view originally used on this denomination. The border design of the new stamp was also changed to agree with the other stamps of the regular issue, series of 1922–23. The new stamp is of the same size as the regular issue and printed in brown ink.
The central design on the 1½-cent stamp was reengraved in order to provide a more satisfactory likeness of the late President and to have the stamp conform in general style and quality of workmanship with the other stamps of the presidential series.
The new 1½-cent Harding stamp was first placed on sale, in sheets and sidewise coils, at the post office in Marion, Ohio, on December 1, 1930.
