United States 3 Cents Postage Stamp (George Washington)

The item is a circular United States postage stamp, bearing a profile illustration of George Washington facing left. The central image of Washington is rendered in a light, almost white, silhouette against a dark blue background, creating a strong contrast. Encircling the central portrait are the words "UNITED STATES POSTAGE" at the top, following the curve of the circle, and "3 CENTS" at the bottom. The number '3' is repeated on both the left and right sides of the central portrait, in a smaller, circular frame. All text and numbers are in white or a very pale color against the dark blue background. The entire stamp is framed by a thin white inner circle and a thicker dark blue outer circle. The exact size of the stamp cannot be determined from the image, but it appears to be a standard size for a circular postage issue. The image quality is somewhat blurry, making it difficult to discern fine details or potential manufacturing marks, specific paper texture, or any minute condition issues such as creasing, tearing, or perforations (though it appears to be a die-cut stamp rather than perforated). There are no overt signs of damage, wear, or repair visible in the provided image. The design style suggests an older issue, likely from the early to mid-20th century, possibly a definitive stamp series. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard postal quality for its era. The stamp's condition seems relatively good, given the lack of obvious flaws, but a closer, higher-resolution inspection would be necessary for a definitive assessment.
