Pair of 1963 1¢ Andrew Jackson US Postage Stamps (Scott #1209)
This item consists of a horizontal pair of 1-cent United States postage stamps featuring the portrait of Andrew Jackson. These stamps belong to the Prominent Americans series, specifically the issue released in 1963 (Scott catalog number #1209). Each stamp is printed in a distinct green ink on a standard white paper stock. The design showcases a profile of Jackson facing right, with the text '1c U.S. POSTAGE' at the bottom and 'ANDREW JACKSON' aligned vertically on the right side of the portrait. The stamps feature standard perforations (perf 11 x 10.5) and are currently attached to a fragment of cream-colored, ribbed paper, likely from an original envelope or packaging. The condition appears to be used or possibly unused but adhered to paper, which affects philatelic grading; the centering is slightly off-shifted towards the bottom and left on both stamps. No visible cancellations or heavy postmarks are immediately apparent in the image, though the paper backing shows some minor discoloration or foxing. The craftsmanship reflects the mid-20th-century rotary press printing standards of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
