MID-ATLANTIC LIGHTHOUSES STAMPS

On August 6, 2021, in Highlands, NJ, the United States Postal Service® will issue the Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses stamps (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate) in five designs, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 481000). These stamps will go on sale nationwide August 6, 2021, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue. The Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses pane of 20 stamps may not be split and the stamps may not be sold individually.

The Postal Service™ concludes its long-running series celebrating American lighthouses with five new stamps honoring mid-Atlantic lighthouses. Each stamp features an original acrylic painting of one of the following lighthouses:

 Thomas Point Shoal, Maryland;

 Montauk Point, New York;

 Harbor of Refuge, Delaware;

 Navesink, New Jersey; and

 Erie Harbor, Pennsylvania.

Howard Koslow (1924–2016) was the artist for these stamps as well as previous issuances in the Lighthouses series. Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses were the last stamps he illustrated for the Postal Service. Greg Breeding art directed the project.
