The United States Postal Service is continuing its American Landmarks stamp series into 2020 with two new stamps that will be issued Jan. 18.

A $7.75 Big Bend stamp will be offered for use on Priority Mail flat-rate envelopes. A $26.35 Grand Island Ice Caves will fulfill a new rate for Priority Mail Express flat rate envelopes.

Both stamps feature illustrations by Dan Cosgrove.

As reported in the Oct. 28 issue of Linn’s, new rates for the expedited mail services are expected to go into effect Jan. 26, 2020.

The Postal Service advises that there will be “no national first-day-of-issue ceremony for these stamps.”
