The US SC 821 was a one of the Prexie series- made by popular citizenry demand. The Abraham Lincoln stamp was issued October 10, 1938 in Washington, DC. President Franklin D. Roosevelt agreed to a contest.The public was asked to submit original designs for a new series picturing all deceased U.S. Presidents. Over 1,100 sketches were submitted, many from veteran stamp collectors. Elaine Rawlinson, who had little knowledge of stamps, won the contest and collected the $500 prize. Rawlinson was the first stamp designer since the Bureau of Engraving and Printing began producing U.S. stamps who was not a government employee.Two hundred years after his birth, Abraham Lincoln is still honored as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.  Lincoln was a complex man whose legacy is often overshadowed by the Civil War.  Indeed, he ably led the Union throughout the War Between the States.
