This 1963 Art Craft First Day Cover features the 1¢ Andrew Jackson coil stamp issued May 31 in Chicago, Illinois. The cover displays a strip of five stamps canceled with the official first-day postmark alongside a classic portrait cachet of Jackson labeled “Old Hickory.”
Andrew Jackson served as the seventh President of the United States and remains one of the most influential figures of the early republic. The 1963 coil stamp was part of a new definitive series printed for use in vending machines and automated post offices, reflecting the Post Office Department’s ongoing effort to modernize stamp production and distribution.
A notable detail is the “SERIES OF 1963” inscription and the Art Craft logo, identifying this as an early coil issue from that production run. The clean, unaddressed cover is in excellent condition, making it an attractive addition for collectors of presidential topicals or U.S. definitive stamps.
