Although few collectors deal in United Nations stamps anymore, I was just on the UNPA website and cropped the "United States of America" flag/coin stamp from their 2013 souvenir sheet:



I was just wondering what the average non-collector would think if this stamp were shown to them. It seems to me that with such a small "U.N." designation in the LL corner, most people would be thinking it was a US stamp.

For those interested in seeing the entire 2013 UN Stamp/Coin Souvenir Sheets, checkout this link:

I think the UN is clear enough to show it's not a US stamp.

I'm guessing most people don't even know the U.N. issues its own stamps (or even care).

At first glance without reading anything first, I thought it was a US stamp.

There's no doubt that Joe Nobody would think it's just a regular US stamp
