On January 9, 2026, in Kenosha, WI, the United States Postal Service® will issue the 4-cent Angel’s Trumpets denominated stamp, in one design, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 (Item 129500) and a PSA coil of 10,000 stamps (Item 762900). This stamp will go on sale nationwide January 9, 2026, and must not be sold or canceled before the first-day-of-issue.
In 2026, the Postal Service™ will issue the 4-cent Angel’s Trumpet, a new low-denomination definitive stamp. This stamp follows the 2024 release of other low-denomination flower stamps—the 1¢ Fringed Tulip, 2¢ Daffodils, 3¢ Peonies, 5¢ Red Tulips, and 10¢ Poppies and Coneflowers. The new stamp art features four peachy pink angel’s trumpets on a yellow-toned cream background. To create the image, the photographer backlit the flowers on a light box and combined multiple photographic exposures, resulting in a luminous, transparent look. Art director Ethel Kessler designed this stamp with an existing image by photographer Harold Davis.
