This Official First Day Cover bears the 13¢ New Hampshire state flag stamp issued during the Bicentennial Era, cancelled in Washington, DC on February 23, 1976.
The stamp belongs to the series celebrating America’s 200th anniversary of independence. New Hampshire played a pivotal role as the ninth and deciding state to ratify the U.S. Constitution on June 21, 1788, securing its adoption.
The cachet features a detailed illustration of the John Stark statue alongside the New Hampshire flag; Stark (1728–1822) was the Revolutionary War general whose victory at the Battle of Bennington helped turn the tide for the American cause.
A handsome addition for collectors of Bicentennial issues, state flags, or Revolutionary War patriots, this cover remains in fresh, well-preserved condition with crisp postmark and vibrant cachet.
