Chinese New Year Stamp

2011 is the year of the Rabbit in the 12 year Chinese zodiac cycle and the year will commemorated with a pair of kumquats. Last year it was the daffodil and the year before the paper lantern.

As yet, the stamp which is likely to cost 44¢ remains undenominated. I'm not sure if the actual stamp will be sold without a price affixed to it. The image for the Kansas sesquicentennial to be issued at the end of January is also without a price. The only other time that the post office did this was back in 1975 around Christmas because of a pending but uncertain increase in rates, and to this day I have to remind myself that those madonna stamps are worth 15¢ each! Let's hope they get the price on these stamps.
