This series of ordinary postage stamps, popularly known as the Liberty Series, replaces that known as the Presidential Series of 1938. All of the stamps of this series were printed by the rotary process with the exception of the 8-cent denomination, which was printed on the rotary, flatbed, and Giori presses, and the $5 issue which was printed on the flatbed press.
The stamps are all 0.75 by 0.87 of an inch in dimension and issued in panes of 100. The 1¼-cent, 1½-cent, 4½-cent, 9-cent, 10-cent and 20-cent denominations are arranged horizontally, while the remainder are vertical.
The 1-cent, 1¼-cent, 2-cent, 2½-cent, 3-cent, 4-cent and 4½-cent, denominations of this series were also issued in coil form. The 3-cent and 4-cent denominations were also issued in booklet form.
