The report of the Postmaster General dated November 15th, 1865, states:
"New stamps have been adopted of the denominations of 5, 10, and 25 cents for prepaying postage on packages of newspapers forwarded by publishers or news dealers under the authority of law, whereby a revenue will be secured, hitherto lost to the Department."
The result was some of the finest engraved classic samples that quickly caught the attention of forgers.
