Elvis Stamp Goes Into Circulation

1993
Shortly after midnight on what would have been Elvis's 58th birthday, a 29-cent stamp with his image is officially dedicated at a Graceland ceremony.
The design was chosen in a vote between an older Elvis from the '70s and a younger version from the '50s, which is the winner. In anticipation of the crush of orders for what is arguably the most famous stamp in US history, the USPS prints a half billion stamps.
