Interesting read regarding this stamp, making it more desirable!

Win the War stamp was often sent on mail to U.S. soldiers fighting overseas.

Stamp received negative criticism. The design lay in the direction of the eagle’s gaze and arrows. Historically, depictions of the American eagle in wartime pictured the eagle facing the same direction his arrows pointed, so that both the eagle and weapons are directed toward their objectives. Some have speculated that President Roosevelt (approved the design) realized this, and deliberately accepted the printed design, so that the weapons point toward the enemy while the eagle looks the other way, toward peace.

“Win the War” stamp, was issued on the anniversary of American independence in order to bolster American support of the war effort.

This stamp was honored in the 100 Greatest U.S. Stamps book.

Americans around the country began writing the Post Office Department and the White House requesting stamps representing America’s dedication to winning the war.

Commemorates the nation's war effort and victory goals. Its central design features the American eagle with wings spread in a 'V', encircled by thirteen stars.
