United States postage stamp depicting Independence Hall, 10-cent denomination

This stamp was issued by the United States Postal Service in 1956 as part of the Liberty Issue series, which featured American landmarks and symbols of freedom. Independence Hall in Philadelphia, where both the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated and adopted, was chosen as a fitting subject to represent American heritage and democratic ideals. The 10-cent denomination was commonly used for standard first-class mail during this period. This stamp appeals to philatelists who specialize in U.S. definitive issues, American history themes, and mid-20th century postal history. Collectors value these stamps for their historical significance, connection to American independence, and as part of the comprehensive Liberty Issue series that remained in use throughout the 1950s and early 1960s.
