Found this uncut sheet of 3 cent Coast Guard stamps and then a block of four 3 cent Merchant Marine stamps.

Used museum glass and have the stamps floating so that no tape or adhesive was needed.

Yep, pretty neat, I use to collect stamps when I was a kid, back in the last century, I'll have to look back in my old collection and see if I have any of those.

Have you seen this? Coming out this year.

I did know that. The CG doesn't advertise as you can imagine. But it is neat how history happens.

I was never into "Collecting" anything. (other than a garage full of junk) But, I fully understand finding something rare like that. Very cool.

Re: the Eagle, I think it's cool, we got damn little retribution from WWII, the Eagle is just spoils of war.
