This Artmaster cacheted First Day Cover features the 25¢ Paul Revere coil stamp issued February 25, 1965, in Wheaton, Maryland. The cover displays a classic portrait of Revere alongside his famous midnight ride, with the stamp cancelled on the official first day of issue.
Paul Revere’s ride on the night of April 18, 1775, warned colonial militia of approaching British forces and became an enduring symbol of American independence. The 1965 stamp commemorates both his role as a patriot and his work as a skilled silversmith, reflecting the nation’s growing interest in its Revolutionary heritage during the Civil War centennial era.
A notable detail is the stamp’s status as a 25¢ coil issue, produced for vending machines and high-volume mailings—an uncommon denomination at the time that served the new first-class letter rate.
A fine addition for collectors of Artmaster cachets, Revolutionary War topicals, or U.S. coil stamps, this cover remains in clean, collectible condition with a crisp postmark and attractive black-and-white design.
