Description: At its 1898 meeting, the Universal Postal Union recommended a new standardized international color-coding system with green for the standard mail rate (1¢ in the U.S.), red for the international postcard rate (2¢ in the U.S.) and blue for the international single letter rate (5¢ in the U.S.). When adopted for the series of 1898-99, other stamps then required color changes. This set includes the 1¢ deep green Franklin (Scott #279), the 2¢ red type IV Washington (Scott #279B), the 4 ¢ rose brown Lincoln (Scott #280), the 5¢ dark blue Grant (Scott #281), the 6¢ lake Garfield (Scott #282), the 10¢ brown type I Webster (Scott #282C), the 10¢ orange brown type II Webster (Scott #283), and the 15¢ olive green Clay (Scott #284).
