This classic 15-cent United States definitive from the 1922–1925 “Fourth Bureau Issue” features an engraved portrait of the Statue of Liberty in rich black. Issued during America’s early 20th-century modernization period, it represents one of the series’ most admired high-value designs. The intricate line engraving captures the monument’s base, folds of the robe, and the skyline in meticulous detail—hallmarks of quality from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Used examples are common, but collectors prize well-centered, lightly cancelled copies due to the stamp’s striking monochrome aesthetic and enduring patriotic theme.
