I got these as a Birthday present - liked them so much, I never could bring myself to use them!
Anyone here make similar custom stamps through Stamps.com or other venues??

Those are great stamps and a wonderful gift!
My understanding is anyone can make stamps like this on Stamps.com.
If so, you can make some new ones to use
I got these.
Those stamps were first day of issue, August 13, 1991, at the 1991 ANA Summer Convention in Chicago (actually in Rosemont). I attended the ceremony and obtained a copy of the USPS First Day program signed by Catalina V. Villalpando, Treasurer of the US, Ken Hallenbeck, ANA President, Ed Rochette, ANA President Elect and several others. I also have numerous first day covers from the event with both the regular USPS First Day of Issue Cancellation and the special ANA Show Cancel for that day.
The August 28 dated issue of COIN WORLD featured a front page photo of Catalina Villalpando signing autographs. I can be clearly seen in the back of the photo waiting in line for my chance to get the autographs. Ms. Villalpando signed several of my first day covers as well as the program.
I bought 6 sheets (fullpage) of these for 20% off face? There’s some unusual deals out there. I send them out as part of the postage. My little post office doesn’t like it if I “wallpaper “ my package or mailer. I love them 🥶(9 degrees outside and 2 feet of snow ❄️)

Are there any coins that show stamps? They would most likely be foreign coins.

Nice blending of two hobbies. I will stick with coins, but can see the attraction for some collectors. Cheers, RickO
Philately was my first love, but it faded away slowly and gave way to numismatics. I still do collect the odd stamps from regular mail the good old fashioned way but don't spend money on them like i do for coins.
