The 10¢ Washington stamp fulfilled the domestic first-class letter rate for letters sent over 3,000 miles, reflecting the increased rates for longer distances during that time. Notably, U.S. #68 holds historical significance as the first U.S. stamp known to be used in Japan. Additionally, it was the first stamp known to be used to pay the Registry Fee, with a pair of stamps covering the fee for a double-rate letter from New York to London in 1867.
