Benjamin Franklin 1 Cent Definitive

United States · 1912 · 1¢

The stamp features a profile portrait of Benjamin Franklin facing left, with 'UNITED STATES POSTAGE' at the top and '1 CENT' at the bottom. The design is simple and classic for a definitive issue.

This stamp is part of the long-running Washington-Franklin series, which served as the primary definitive postage stamps of the United States for over a decade. Benjamin Franklin, a Founding Father, was a key figure in establishing the U.S. postal system, making him a fitting subject for a low-denomination postage stamp.
