This 1967 First Day Cover features the 1¼¢ Albert Gallatin stamp from the Prominent Americans series, issued January 30, 1967, and postmarked in Gallatin, Missouri. The Artmaster cachet displays a detailed portrait of Gallatin with an American eagle and shield, noting his lifespan 1761–1849.
Albert Gallatin served as Secretary of the Treasury under Presidents Jefferson and Madison, becoming the longest-serving holder of that office. He played a key role in financing the Louisiana Purchase and reducing the national debt while shaping early American fiscal policy.
The cover bears a block of four stamps with the "First Day of Issue" inscription across the center, a hallmark of Artmaster cachets from this period. Gallatin, Missouri, was chosen as the first-day city in honor of the statesman.
A fine addition for collectors of the Prominent Americans series, Artmaster cachets, or presidential-era postal history, this cover remains in clean, collectible condition with sharp postmark and vibrant cachet artwork.
