US Transportation Coil stamp showing plate number 2. From the collection of Sean Lamb (User:Slambo).

[edit] Licensing

This image is of a United States postage stamp produced in 1978 or later. The copyright for it is owned by the United States Postal Service. It is believed that the use of postage stamps to illustrate the stamp in question (as opposed to things appearing in the stamp's design) on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Other use of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Copyrights for more information. Usage that does not fall under fair use requires a license from the USPS. This includes usage of the stamp's artwork to illustrate its subject, rather than the stamp itself. To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale as described on Wikipedia:Image description page.

[edit] Fair use in Transportation coils

It is believed that this image qualifies under fair use because:

• The image depicts an example of the subject of the article.
• The image displayed is of sufficiently small resolution as to not hamper or dilute the copyright holder's use of the original stamp design.
• Since the subject of the article is the postage stamp series issue itself, any derivative image would fail to convey the information that an image of the actual stamp could.
