The nondenominated (50¢) Hearts Blossom Love forever stamp will be issued Jan. 10 with a ceremony at the Puerto Rico Museum of Contemporary Art, Ave. Juan Ponce de Leon, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. Atlantic Standard Time, (10 a.m. Eastern Time) and can be viewed live on the USPS Facebook site.
