U is for United Nations
Going with the same U as last time, here's a 70c stamp from the UN issued in 2003 that features a holographic portion. It is impossible to scan, and to really appreciate on a flat screen, so here are two photos from slightly different angles.

A beautiful stamp and you made wonderful photos of it, thanks a lot for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Heleen. I didn't even realize myself that some parts seem to glow until I was trying to find a good angle for a picture.
DeleteFine stamp!
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is pretty special.
DeleteIt looks almost like neon lighting in the second one!
ReplyDeleteI didn't appreciate that myself until I was trying to get two different photos.
DeleteI often thing that photos show up a stamp better than my scanner.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, although I'm not good with taking photos so scanning often provides a better image for the blog.
