  Stamp Collecting | Collector’s set with proof panes and book planned for battlefields stamps

Battlefields of the American Revolution stamps
"...The United States Postal Service will offer a limited number of proof sets as part of a collector’s set for its upcoming Battlefields of the American Revolution stamps.

The 15 nondenominated (73¢) stamps will be issued April 16 in a pane of 15. The collector’s set includes proof panes and a 60-page book that “follows artist Greg Harlin’s meticulous process for illustrating the five scenes shown on the Battlefields of the American Revolution stamp pane — from rough concepts to preliminary pencil sketches to final paintings.”

Looking at the publicity image of the set, it appears that there are five proofs of cyan, magenta, black and yellow, respectively, plus a proof with just the dark blue ink selvage color. A normal pane of stamps is also shown. A certificate of authenticity signed by Harlin is also included. ...The Battlefields of the American Revolution collector’s set can be purchased at the United States Postal Service’s online store."
