2006

All sheet or pane issues have plate numbers in four corners (UL, UR, LL, LR) unless otherwise specified.

Some of the rate-change stamps were issued in late December 2005, but they appear here because the rate change did not occur until January 2006 and many of the stamps are inscribed with 2006 year dates.

The 39¢ and non-denominated Lady Liberty and Flag stamps appear on a special Spotlight page.
