Description

50th Ann. of First Solo Transatlantic Flight - ROMPEX - May 20, 1977
First Day of Issue of the Charles Lindbergh Flight stamp (Scott #1710).
The Lindbergh stamp was placed on the front of a Series 1976 Federal Reserve Note and canceled with a pictorial cancel on May 20, 1977, the 50th anniversary of the start of Charles A. Lindbergh's solo flight across the Atlantic. The cancel was applied at the Lindbergh Station, 82001, a special, two-day post office established at the Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to commemorate Lindbergh's flight. It depicts a portrait of Lindbergh and his plane, the Spirit of St. Louis.
A Colorado State flag stamp (Scott #1670) was placed on the back of the bill along with another copy of the Lindbergh Flight stamp. They were canceled in Denver, Colorado, on the same day, May 20, 1977, at the ROMPEX Station at the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Exposition with a pictorial cancel depicting the Graf Zeppelin rigid airship.
