S18 - United Nations New York City International Rate


The next United Nations personalized stamp sheet was issued on 14 May 2007 and remains on sale on the UNPA website, probably until the United States international first class mail rate changes (possibly in June 2008). This sheet and S17 were issued simultaneously and are intended to be the main two sheets for tourist and philatelic personalization during a visit to the UN.

This sheet was designed by Robert Stein (who unfortunately for United Nations philately, passed away in July 2007). The ten 90 cent stamps themselves, are similar in design to S16 (Essen 2007), except for the denomination. The stamps are still 30 mm x 30 mm with 13.2 perforations. The Scott number is 939 and the Michel number is 1064.
