Description
This is an uncut sheet of postal cards issued on November 19, 1962, with a 4 cent postage stamped in the upper right corner of each card. The sheet when cut would produce 40 cards approximately 3-1/4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide each. The printed side has a small banner with the words "This side of card is for address" in it. The postal stamp printed in a red-violet ink features an engraving of the left profile of President Abraham Lincoln along with the amount "4c U.S. Postage." Three horizontal lines in the same ink color were printed across the postage amount. The verso of the cards is blank.
