Astro-philatelics, part 15

US moon landing holographic stamp

I admit, I’d never seen this stamp before today; boy, is it ever neat!

Titled, “Landing on the Moon,” this souvenir sheet includes a high face value ($11.75) Express Mail postage rate stamp. The stamp design is a hologram featuring the lunar lander approaching the Moon’s surface, with the Earth in the background. A photograph taken during the Apollo 16 mission is reproduced in the sheet selvage. This attractive mint souvenir sheet was designed by Richard Sheaff and released by the United States Postal Service on July 8, 2000.

Must get my hands on this sheet, one of these days….
