Postal Commemorative Society 22kt Gold Replica Stamp World War Ii Raid On Tokyo Appraisal

Postal Commemorative Society 22kt Gold Replica Stamp - World War II: Raid on Tokyo

This is a philatelic collectible featuring a 22-karat gold foil replica of the 1992 United States 29-cent postage stamp titled 'B-25s take off to raid Tokyo, April 18, 1942.' The central gold piece is an embossed metallic foil that mimics the design and perforated edges of the original paper stamp, depicting a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber in flight. It is presented within a formal cream-colored cardstock display folder. The gold replica is mounted against a deep red velvet-textured rectangular background, secured by clear corner mounts. Above the stamp is a gold-embossed emblem of the American bald eagle with outspread wings. To the right of the stamp, a circular First Day of Issue postal cancellation mark is printed, indicating 'INDIANAPOLIS, IN AUG 17 1992 46206.' Below the stamp, the text ‘World War II Raid on Tokyo’ is printed in a black serif/italic font. The item appears to be in excellent as-issued condition with a mirror-like finish on the gold surfaces and no visible signs of oxidation or wear to the cardstock. These sets were typical of the late 20th-century subscription-based collectibles market, often produced by the Postal Commemorative Society.
