FDC from the United Nations: Coins and Flags Series 2012


UN Coins and Flags Series 2012  (Nepal, Bahrain, Peru and Solomon Islands) Stamps FDC
UN 2003 Headquarter Complex Holographic Stamp (Upper left Corner)
UN 2010 International Year of Biodiversity - New York Definitives Stamps
First Day of Issue Pictorial Postmark on 02/03/12 from New York, NY 10017


As I mentioned in my previous post Mintsheet from the United Nations: Year of the Dragon, I got an unexpected gift from ordering the Year of the Dragon stamp from the UN. The United Nations Postal Administration actually sent my order in this FDC. Although it took them 4 weeks to process my order and they charged me $4 for shipping, I think this time and money was well spent.
