Description: The first U.S. non-denominated postage stamp, 1975, 10c, Christmas Madonna and Child, Scott #1579. This Christmas issue shows a detail of "The Madonna and Child," painted by Italian artist Domenico di Tommaso Ghirlandaio. Because postage rates for late 1975 were uncertain, both Christmas stamps were issued with no denomination; they were the first non-denominated U.S. stamps.
