On May 31, 1996, the USPS issued a stamp commemorating the 200th Anniversary of the Statehood of Tennessee. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the full-color stamp, which depicts the State Capitol Building in Nashville, cancelled from the city of issue (Nashville, TN) on the first day of issue captioned above. Note the special postmark designed to cancel this stamp on its 'birthday.'
The color cachet (artwork on the envelope produced by a private company, not the post office) features a watercolor picture of a log cabin nestled in the Smokey Mountains.
Double matted in blue & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8x10 frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity Included***
