Andrew Jackson Stamp Appraisal

Andrew Jackson 1-cent US Postage Stamp

This item is a 1-cent United States postage stamp featuring a profile portrait of Andrew Jackson. The stamp is predominantly green, depicted against a lighter green background within a rectangular border. The image of Andrew Jackson shows him facing to the right, with his hair slightly disheveled and a distinguished facial expression. To the right side of the portrait, oriented vertically, are the words "ANDREW JACKSON" in capital letters. In the lower left corner, the denomination "1c" is clearly visible, with "U.S. POSTAGE" printed below it in a sans-serif font. The stamp has perforated edges, indicating it was intended to be torn from a sheet. The perforations appear relatively clean and intact. The overall condition of the stamp seems to be good, with no obvious major tears, creases, or significant discoloration visible in the provided image. The ink appears consistently applied, and the details of the portrait are sharp, suggesting good printing quality. Given the style and denomination, this stamp likely belongs to a mid-20th century series, possibly part of the Presidential Series or 'Prexies,' which were issued from 1938 onwards. The crispness of the printing and the well-defined perforations point to a reasonably well-preserved example, which could be important for collectors. The design is characteristic of official government-issued postage, prioritizing clear identification of the subject and value.
