- Per FP criteria, exceptions can be made to the rule of size for historic and unique images. No one can deny this has high EV, and a look at the image’s history on the commons indicates it was above the size criteria until July 2022, when it was replaced with this one which has one dimension pass the criteria. Just wanted to point that out. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 15:07, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, that would be true for a stamp from, let's say, 1940s. This is a stamp from yesteryear, where a high quality scan is quite possible. Please have a look at Wikipedia:Featured_pictures#Currency for some specimen of what we are looking for in a FP. Thanks. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
