Presorted First-class (25c) Diner single

Object Details

Description
The Postal Service issued the first-class letter presort rate Diner (25-cent) stamp, in a gummed coil of 10,000, on June 5, 1998, in McLean, Virginia. The stamp was later issued as a non-denominated first-class presort stamp in Washington, DC, on September 30, 1998.
Designed by Carl Herman of Laguna Niguel, California, the gummed stamps were manufactured by Sennett Security Products, and the PSA coil stamps were manufactured by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Both stamps were printed in coils of 10,000 in the gravure process.
