This First Day Cover celebrates the 200th anniversary of the New York Stock Exchange with a detailed cachet featuring the classic NYSE building with columns and a circular inset of the first ticker tape machine for price quotations. The 29-cent commemorative stamp (Scott #2630) resembles a stock certificate with an ornate green border, depicting the NYSE building and trading floor. The postmark is a standard circular cancellation with 'New York, NY' and the date 'May 17, 1992.' The cover is in excellent condition, with clear and legible text, including 'Official First Day of Issue' and 'New York Stock Exchange 200th Anniversary.'
