June 26 issue date for $25 federal duck stamp

The 2015-16 $25 Ruddy Ducks federal duck stamp will be issued June 26 in Memphis, Tenn.

The Federal Duck Stamp Office, a division of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, plans to issue the stamp with an event at a Bass Pro Shop store in Memphis.

As reported by Bill McAllister in the Jan. 5 Linn’s Stamp News, the $15 price of the federal duck last year is increasing to $25 this year.

The new stamp will be issued in the same formats as last year, however: a pane of 20 with moisture-activated adhesive, and a pane of one self-adhesive stamp.

The design will show Jennifer Miller’s acrylic painting of two ruddy ducks, which won the 2014 federal duck stamp art contest.
