The listing, 4 FREE Nevada Statehood Forever Stamps - Free shipping in US - 6 Day auction!!!! has ended.

The U.S. Postal Service celebrated Nevada statehood by dedicating a Forever Stamp to commemorate its 150th anniversary. Known by several nicknames — the Silver State, the Battle Born State, the Sagebrush State — Nevada became the 36th state Oct. 31, 1864. (Halloween). “Nevada is truly one of our nation’s most beautiful treasures,” “With so much to choose from, it was difficult to decide on an image the size of a postage stamp to adequately depict Nevada’s revered beauty and history. We chose to feature the Fire Canyon in Nevada’s first state park, the Valley of Fire. The canyon’s natural sandstone formations are just one of the state’s breathtaking landscapes.”
The Story Behind the Stamp:
Bilbray said artist Ron Spears, of Reno, NV, created his first sketches for the stamp on-site in Fire Canyon.
“Spears has a deep appreciation for the area, which he visits often, and he was especially keen to paint the scene in the morning light,” explained Bilbray. “He created his painting in the fall when the light was low and strong. Facing south, Spears captured the scene at dawn when the sandstone glows in shades of brilliant reds and yellows — a result of various quantities of iron in the rock — highlighted by deep purple and blue shadows. The colors contrast dramatically with the whiteness of the silica formation in the foreground.”
“I wanted to be at Fire Canyon when the sun broke over the horizon,” said Spears. “It only lasts for a few moments, but seeing the rocks come to life as the morning sun hits them is definitely worth getting up early for.”
Spears’ original sketches were oils on canvas. The final painting, in oil, measures approximately 15 x 12 inches.

They are new and unused.
