ATOMIC BOMB ENDS WWII - 1995 U.S. POSTAGE "STAMP" (TYPE 2)

Description: ATOMIC BOMB "STAMP" - TYPE #2 HISTORY: In 1994, the U.S. Postal Service planned to issue a stamp commemorating the conclusion of WWII through the use of atomic bombs in 1945. This stamp was to be part of the final series of stamps to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of WWII. After protests from Japanese government officials and intervention by President Clinton, the U.S. Postal Service reluctantly rescinded the planned atomic bomb stamp and replaced it with one of President Truman. This is the only time in history that a commemorative stamp was rescinded by the U.S. Postal Service. Ironically, the announcement was made public by the White House on December 7, 1994, exactly 53 years to the day after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor. This commemorative atomic bomb poster stamp was created by a private party in place of the originally-planned stamp and is not valid for postage. It pictures an atomic bomb mushroom cloud with the Enola Gay airplane flying away.This auction is for a one mint condition atomic bomb "stamp" (Type #2):Stamp printed with glossy ink (not flat like Type #1) - dull gum I have all 4 types listed individually and as a complete set in my eBay store.Bid with confidence - I have been an active eBay member since 1999 and my feedback rating speaks for itself.Shipping by USPS First Class Mail.Please check out my eBay store for a wide variety of popular and historic stamp sets, including many more WWII stamps!
