This First Day Cover features the 7 1/10¢ Liberty Bell stamp issued May 10, 1971, in Baltimore, Maryland, along with a 5¢ Washington stamp. The cover bears a clear Baltimore, MD circular postmark and the printed "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" cachet.
The 7 1/10¢ denomination was created specifically for the authorized nonprofit organization bulk-mail rate, reflecting the U.S. Postal Service's efforts to support charitable and nonprofit mailings during a period of changing postal rates and reforms in the early 1970s.
A notable detail is the stamp's unusual fractional denomination and its distinctive purple design showing the Liberty Bell, paired here with the classic Washington portrait stamp. The cachet is intentionally minimal, emphasizing the official first-day cancel.
This cover is a clean, well-centered example ideal for collectors of modern U.S. definitives, postal-rate history, or Liberty Bell topicals.
