Official stamps were first introduced on July 1, 1873. They were in use for a little over ten years before they were declared obsolete in 1884. (The stamps made a brief, limited return in 1910 as Postal Savings Official stamps, but were only in use for four years.) Official stamps are unique because they were strictly used on government mail. Plus, they were issued in small quantities, which means they’re quite scarce today.
