Francis Crick & James James D. Watson Signed Nobel Prize Postage Stamps
6 x 3.75 inches

A rather unique and significant - on many levels - offering, this set of ten (10) postage stamps with USA denomination of 34 cents was signed by Francis Crick and James D. Watson, who were jointly awarded, along with Maurice Wilkins, the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1962. Such an amazing commemorative keepsake is really special and celebrates the "100th anniversary" of The Nobel Prize 1901 - 2001. Stamps are an inherently popular collectible, and this set of 10 in pristine condition offers a historical, significant bonus of the Crick and Watson signatures both in black ink. This tenfold set of bona fide postage is fully intact on the original sticker page with full perforations.
