The original intent for the 1898 issues was to print the stamps in two colors. However, due to the Spanish-American War and the increased demand for revenue stamps, resources were re-allocated and the stamps were printed in one color. The 1998 issues have been printed in two colors, using the only existing original bi-color dies.
On the original 1898 commemoratives, the Mississippi River Bridge stamp was the $2 stamp. It was originally planned for the 2¢ stamp but was switched with the “Farming in the West” stamp. Since the farming scene represented a more common theme, the Postal Committee thought it should have the lower denomination and be used more often. The 1998 sheet shows the denominations as they were originally planned. The bridge stamp pictures Eads Bridge, a 1,500-foot span built in 1874 in the city of St. Louis.(S-0009)The White Cloud (Mew-hu-she-kaw ) Chief of the Ioway TribeU.S. #3236k 32¢ George Catlin ArtFirst Day of Issue: August 27, 1998 City: Santa Clara, CA This stamp was part of the Four Centuries of American Art Series.(S-0054)U.S. #3236q – 32¢ Grant Wood’s American Gothic First Day of Issue: August 27, 1998 City: Santa Clara, CA.(C-0186)U.S. #3236q – 32¢ Grant Wood’s American Gothic includes 3236r First Day of Issue: August 27, 1998 City: Santa Clara, CA.(C-0187)U.S. #3236q – 32¢ Grant Wood’s American Gothic First Day of Issue Date: August 27, 1998 City: Santa Clara, CA.(C-0188)U.S. #3236q – 32¢ Grant Wood’s American Gothic First Day of Issue Date: August 27, 1998 City: Santa Clara, CA.(C-0275)U.S. 3187d – 33¢ U.S. Launches Satellites – Celebrate The Century 1950’s First Day of Issue May 26, 1999 City: Springfield, Mass (S-0062) U.S. #3349 33¢Meredith Willson from Broadway Songwriters Series First Day of Issue: September 21, 1999 City: New York, NY.(S-0071) U.S. #3345 – #3350 33¢ Broadway Songwriters Series First Day of Issue: September 21, 1999 City: New York, NY ) Featuring: George & Ira Gershwin, Alan Lerner & Frederick Loewe, Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers & Oscar Hammerstein, Frank Loesser.(C-0198)U.S. #3349 33¢Meredith Willson from Broadway Songwriters Series First Day of Issue: September 21, 1999 City: New York, NY.(C-0197) U.S. #3349 33¢Meredith Willson from Broadway Songwriters Series First Day of Issue: September 21, 1999 City: New York, NY.(C-0195)U.S. #3349 33¢Meredith Willson from Broadway Songwriters Series First Day of Issue: September 21, 1999 City: New York, NY.(L-0103) U.S. #3277 1999 33¢ Flag And City – Display Page – Iowa w/ 5 Iowa Stamps (U.S. #838, #942, #1661, #1967, #3088) Postmarked December 28, 1999 in Des Moines.
