Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-free and Pet-free Environment.

On January 2, 2004, the U.S. Postal Service issued this sheet of Pacific Coral Reef self-adhesive 37¢ stamps in Honolulu, HI - the 6th issue in the Nature of America series of educational stamps to promote appreciation for the beauty of 12 different North American ecosystems. These large sheets (9.2" x 6.7") were designed by Ethel Kessler of Bethesda, MD, and illustrated by artist John D. Dawson of Hilo, HI. Each sheet consists of a large panoramic image of a U.S. geographical region, with the region’s flora and fauna clearly visible. Ten stamps were die cut on to the design, each composing one or more species indigenous to the depicted ecosystem. The back of the sheet has a brief descriptive text, accompanied by a graphic outline of the stamp images. The flora and fauna depicted are identified and labeled with both their common and Latin names.
