Star-Spangled Banner Stamps

Star-Spangled Banner Stamps
Forever 78¢ | Booklet Stamp Format

The Star-Spangled Banner has been a treasured American icon ever since Francis Scott Key celebrated the sight of an American flag still flying over Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.

This stamp commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Star-Spangled Banner with a photograph of the flag that flies over Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore. This flag is a replica of the one that inspired Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner” after Fort McHenry withstood the British attack of September 13-14, 1814.

The Star-Spangled Banner stamps are being issued as Forever® stamps in double-sided booklets of 20 stamps. These Forever® stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce rate.
