This Artmaster cachet First Day Cover features the 1965 25¢ Paul Revere coil stamp, postmarked on its first day of issue in Wheaton, Maryland, on February 25, 1965. The striking black-and-white cachet depicts Revere in period attire alongside a rider on horseback and a colonial steeple, with the inscription identifying him as “PATRIOT and SILVERSMITH.”
Paul Revere’s famous midnight ride in April 1775 helped alert colonial militia to the advancing British troops, cementing his place in American Revolutionary history. Beyond his patriotic exploits, Revere was a master silversmith whose work remains prized by collectors today. The stamp’s issuance in 1965 marked the first time Revere appeared on a U.S. coil stamp.
Artmaster’s detailed engraving and the “25¢ COIL STAMP OF 1965” inscription make this cover especially appealing to collectors of both Revolutionary War topicals and U.S. coil stamps. In clean condition with a crisp postmark, it offers strong display value for any philatelic or historical collection.
