This 1976 First Day Cover features the 13¢ Nevada flag stamp issued February 23 in Washington, DC. The cachet depicts the Nevada State Capitol building, the Great Seal of Nevada, and commemorates the state's admission as the 36th state on October 31, 1864.
Nevada's statehood during the Civil War was strategically important for the Union, providing silver and gold resources that helped finance the war effort. The "Battle Born" motto on the flag reflects this turbulent origin.
The cover ties into the U.S. Bicentennial Era (1776-1976) series, with the cachet artistically combining the state seal and capitol illustration for strong visual appeal to state and flag topical collectors.
A handsome addition to any U.S. statehood or Bicentennial collection, this cover is in excellent condition with a crisp Washington, DC first-day cancel.
