July 1847 CE

Some postmasters in the United States had issued their own stamps in 1845, but the first officially issued stamps come on July 1 1847, with the five- and ten- cent stamps depicting Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. (Though highly collectable today, they are far from being the most valuable U.S. stamps).
