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.





For more postage with a U theme head over to Sunday Stamps.

    1. Thanks, 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.

  2. It looks almost like neon lighting in the second one!

    1. I didn't appreciate that myself until I was trying to get two different photos.

  3. I often thing that photos show up a stamp better than my scanner.

    1. I think you're right, although I'm not good with taking photos so scanning often provides a better image for the blog.
