This First Day Cover features the 13¢ Pennsylvania state flag stamp issued as part of the Bicentennial Era series. The cachet depicts the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg with the state seal and the text "The Keystone State" and "2nd State · December 12, 1787." The official Washington, DC postmark is dated February 23, 1976.
The stamp honors Pennsylvania, the second state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Issued during the national bicentennial celebrations, this cover captures both state pride and the 200th anniversary of American independence.
A notable detail is the cachet artwork that includes the full state capitol building and the Great Seal of Pennsylvania, tying the design directly to the state's historic and governmental identity.
Collectors will appreciate this clean, well-centered cover as an attractive addition to any state flags or bicentennial topical collection.
