This 1965 Artmaster First Day Cover features the 25¢ Paul Revere coil stamp issued February 25, 1965, in Wheaton, Maryland. The cachet portrays Revere in period attire alongside his famous midnight ride, with the Old North Church steeple in the background.
Paul Revere’s midnight ride on April 18, 1775, warned colonial militia of approaching British troops, becoming one of the most iconic events of the American Revolution. A skilled silversmith by trade, Revere also produced engravings, church bells, and cannons that supported the patriot cause.
The Artmaster design highlights both Revere’s dual identity as patriot and artisan, and the stamp itself was issued as a 25¢ coil—the first U.S. coil to honor an individual from the Revolutionary era.
A fine addition for collectors of American history, Revolutionary War topicals, or Artmaster cachets, this cover remains in clean, collectible condition with a crisp first-day cancel.
