USPS Forever Stamps - US Flag Stamps (2016 or 2017 version) on white background
Beware of counterfeit rolls: check that your stamps are genuine. Genuine stamps have micro-printed letters "USPS" on the flag or pole, and plate numbers like "P1111" below every 20-25 stamps.
Buy from a trusted dealer to ensure you get genuine stamps
1 Roll of 100 brand new forever stamps. Stamp design and roll packaging may vary (will be US Flag 2016 or 2017 stamps).
Forever stamps will also be equal to the one-ounce first class rate

Description

Roll of 100 brand new forever stamps made by USPS. Stamp design will be one of two US Flag versions on white background issued in 2016 or 2017 (see images). Always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail 1 ounce rate. Self-adhesive for convenient use. Made in the USA. If the rolls were not shrinkwrapped, then make sure you have received genuine stamps, rather than counterfeits. Mail sent with counterfeit stamps can be confiscated. Genuine stamps will have microprinted letters USPS on every stamp. On the 2017 variety these letters are typically found on the right edge of the flag, visible with a magnifying glass (such as one of the images above). On the 2016 the "USPS" is found on the flag pole. Also genuine stamps have plate numbers such as "P1111" that appear 3 or 4 times along the bottom roll (usually every 25 stamps or so) on genuine stamps, as in the first product image. With a shortwave UV light, genuine stamps will shine with a green phosphorescent glow, while counterfeit stamps just shine bright white. Under a magnifying glass the counterfeit stamps will exhibit lower print quality, with noticeable dots and lines, while the genuine stamps appear smooth. If you receive a 2014 Star Spangled Banner stamp instead, that might be counterfeit and should not be sent with this listing.
