Antigua and Barbuda stamps year 1995 Elvis Presley Mint never hinged
Antigua and Barbuda issued a stamp set and souvenir sheet featuring Elvis Presley in 1995 as part of an issue celebrating famous entertainers.
The issue was released to mark what would have been Elvis Presley’s 60th Birthday (which was January 8, 1995), though the stamps themselves were officially authorized for sale later in the year, starting on December 8, 1995.
This issue was notable because it was a joint release, sharing some denominations with stamps dedicated to John Lennon.
