Printed by the rotary process, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
This stamp was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Minnesota Statehood.
The 3-cent Minnesota Statehood stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process in green, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50.
The design stresses the many lakes in the State and its beautiful islands and terrain. Emphasis is placed on the unusual branches of the State: tree, pines, lakes and points, and low rolling hills. Across the top is the wording "Minnesota Statehood 1858–1958," arranged in one line in dark Gothic. "United States Postage" and "3¢" appear in a rounded vertical format in the lower right corner.
This issue was first placed on sale on May 11, 1958, at St. Paul, Minn.
