    First Day of Issue - January 15, 1922 Washington D.C.
    Engravers - Marcus Baldwin (vignette), Edward Hall & Joachim Benzing (variable lettering)
    Quantity Issued - 21,681,541,977. A total of 1,363 printing plates were used. As this stamp was used to pay the then current domestic letter rate, it remained in production from 1922 - 1927, until it was replaced by the rotary press version. In 1925, some flat plate stamps were printed with slightly wider vertical spacing between the designs. Most (but not all) of these experimental printings were marked with a star beside beside the top or right side plate number of the upper right pane. The purpose of increasing the spacing was to improve the centering of the stamps.

    Three different type of stars exist:
    Small five pointed star
    Six pointed star
    Large five pointed star
