Stamp Announcement 23-10: $10 Floral Geometry Stamp

©2022 USPS

On February 24, 2023, in San Diego, CA, the United States Postal Service^® will issue the $10 Floral Geometry definitive stamp in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of four stamps (Item 122600). This stamp will go on sale nationwide February 24, 2023, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue.

In 2023, a new Floral Geometry stamp denominated at $10 will be available for purchase, complementing the similarly designed $2 and $5 stamps issued in 2022. The design of these high denomination stamps lends an elegant and contemporary appearance to packages, large envelopes, and other mailings. The stamp art features a series of overlapping geometric shapes that mimic the symmetry of floral patterns found in nature. As the stamp denominations rise ($2 to $10), the designs become more complex. The watercolor backgrounds and foil-stamped designs and typography create a sophisticated look. The stamps were designed and created by the firm Spaeth Hill. Antonio Alcalá was the art director.

Availability to Post Offices: Item 122600, $10 Floral Geometry Pane of Four Stamps
