2000 Four Flowers Stamps – Lot of 14/20 – 34¢ – MNH – Photographic USPS Booklet

This lot includes 14 unused self‑adhesive stamps from the 2000 USPS “Four Flowers” booklet, originally issued in anticipation of the 2001 first‑class rate increase. These non‑denominated stamps carry a 34¢ value and feature photographic images of four distinct flowers: Freesia, Cymbidium Orchid, Longiflorum Lily, and Asian Hybrid Lily. This set marked a shift in USPS design, being among the first flower stamps to use photographs rather than illustrations. The stamps are cataloged under Scott numbers 3454 through 3457 and remain mint never hinged (MNH) on their original backing.
