1969 First Moon Landing Forever Stamps 2019

The U.S. Postal Service is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and man’s first steps on the Moon with two Forever stamps. One stamp features Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin in his spacesuit on the surface of the Moon. His fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong took the photograph. (The third Apollo 11 astronaut, Michael Collins, remained in orbit around the Moon.) The other stamp, a photograph of the Moon taken in 2010 by Gregory H. Revera, shows the landing site of the lunar module, Eagle, in the Sea of Tranquility. The site is indicated on the stamp by a dot. Showcased in a classic black frame, the piece also includes a dust cover and sawtooth hanger on the back for easy display. On the 50th anniversary of this first Moon landing, two stamp designs commemorate that historic milestone. One stamp features Armstrong’s iconic photograph of Aldrin in his spacesuit on the surface of the Moon. The other stamp, a photograph of the moon taken in 2010 by Gregory H. Revera from his home in Madison, AL, shows the landing site of the lunar module, Eagle, in the Sea of Tranquility. The site is indicated on the stamp by a dot. Art director Antonio Alcalá designed the stamps. The 1969: First Moon Landing stamps are being issued as Forever stamps. Forever stamps will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1-ounce price.
