This First Day Cover features the 6¢ Franklin D. Roosevelt stamp issued January 29, 1966, as part of the Prominent Americans Series. The Fleetwood cachet shows a classic portrait of FDR within a shield design, postmarked at Hyde Park, NY—the president's longtime home—on the official first day of issue.
Franklin D. Roosevelt served as the 32nd President from 1933 to 1945, guiding the nation through the Great Depression with the New Deal and through World War II as a key Allied leader. His four-term presidency led to the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two terms.
The Fleetwood cachet highlights the Prominent Americans Series design, with the stamp's profile portrait matching the cachet artwork. Hyde Park, NY, was chosen as the first-day city due to its deep connection to Roosevelt's personal and political life.
A fine addition for collectors of presidential philately, the Prominent Americans Series, or mid-1960s U.S. postal history, this cover displays clean postmarking and attractive cachet artwork.
