1974-1975 Ten Cent Commemorative issues The ten cent rate arrived during a period of high inflation, and the postal service made frequent requests for higher rates to meet their payroll, fuel and pension costs. The rate was short-lived, being superseded by the 13¢ rate in 1975. 1974 issues

The requested first-class rate increase to 15¢ was pending and had not been approved by the time these stamps needed to be printed. As a result, they were printed with no denomination. Ultimately, the rate increase was only to 13¢. The uncertainty caused the Postal Service to decide to preprint and stockpile the "alphabet" temporary stamps which could be issued in whatever denomination was approved.
