Ronald Reagan

40th President of the United States

Collins Cover Announcement 

Ronald Reagan

As our 40th president, Ronald Reagan served the nation from 1981 to 1989. Known as "The Great -COMmuniatôt," he remains as one of our most popular presidents ever.

To relax, President Reagan would visit his California ranch where he would cut wood and ride horseback. My individually hand painted cachet depicts such a visit as the president is seen enjoying a brisk ride on his spirited mount. The watercolors capture in natural tones not only the horse and famous rider but also the California vista.

The new stamp has the First Day of Issue bullseye postmark from Simi Valley, California, and I'm pleased to honor President Ronald Reagan in an outdoor setting that he truly loved. Collins #X4101 — $13.25.
