Comment by Bradford on January 3, 2021 at 10:52pm: Exactly! Intaglio-printed stamps and currency set the standard over 150 years ago.

Comment by Carmela Rizzuto on January 3, 2021 at 10:29pm: Thanks for your comment--yes, these stamps harken back to the days when stamps were printed from engraved plates. My husband has quite a few yet in his collection.

Comment by Bradford on January 3, 2021 at 9:26pm: The reuse of classic stamp designs that countries like Russia are issuing really adds to this piece.
