Commemorates man’s first footstep on the moon’s surface by Neil Armstrong, Commander of the Apollo 11 mission. The first jumbo-sized commemorative issue, it celebrated “moon mail.” The First Day Cover was the most popular ever.
While few events compare to the famous actions of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin Jr, during the Apollo 11 mission, the release of the stamp celebrating the Moon landing marked an important event for the philatelic world. The stamp, released on September 9, 1969, was made from the same master die that the astronauts took with them to the moon. Additionally, it was the largest stamp the United States had issued up to that point.
The stamp’s designer, Paul Calle, had previously designed the 1967 Accomplishments In Space stamp featuring NASA’s Gemini Program.
