The cachet artwork by GAMM (Gerry Adlman) features a blue magnifying glass examining a miniature Indian Head penny stamp image, with a ruler showing the '1/2' measurement scale, illustrating the experimental size concept. An Indian Head one-cent coin is depicted in the upper left corner. The stamp is a USA 13c definitive issue depicting an Indian Head cent coin in orange-brown tones. The postmark is a standard machine cancel from Kansas City, MO dated January 11, 1978, with the ZIP code 64108 and 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' slogan. The cover header reads '13¢ Definitive Issue — 1978' and the cachet notes 'Experimental Size 13.7mm x 16.7mm.'

This First Day Cover features a 1978 13¢ definitive stamp depicting the Indian Head cent coin in a reddish-brown hue, alongside a cachet design by Gerry Adlman (GAMM Cachets) that includes a blue magnifying glass and ruler to highlight the stamp’s experimental dimensions (13.7mm x 16.7mm). The postmark is a circular cancellation with 'KANSAS CITY, MO' and the date 'JAN 11 1978', indicating the first day of issue. The cover is in good condition with clear, legible text and artwork.
(The automatic summaries sometimes misidentify the postmark as part of the cachet artwork.)
