US - Old American Insurance Company Coin Stamps
Coin Stamps came from mid-twentieth century mail order solicitations of the Old American Insurance Company which was founded in 1939.

A denominated Coin Stamp was provided to secure the proper coin in place so that it would not move around in the envelope and/or get lost in the mail. The Coin Stamp was typically stuck to the solicitation letter, which accounts for the fact that many of these stamps are found with gum disturbances particularly at one corner or along an edge. Known examples show the portrait of a woman wearing a small crown with 3 stars, and are denominated "10 cents - 30 days" and "25 cents - 30 days", They are printed in blue or red on white paper, and one example is printed in black on shiny gold colored paper, and may be perforated or imperforate.
