Calvin Coolidge Stamp

The thirtieth (1923 to 1929) President of the United States was John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. who is best known as Calvin Coolidge. Beginning his patriotism very early, he was the only President to ever be born on the 4th of July. He spent his childhood with his family growing up in Vermont.

He was always interested in politics. Prior to becoming President, he was the Vice President, Governor, Lt. Governor, State Legislator, and mayor and a lawyer. Coolidge was known for his somewhat laid back presidential style. His most major presidential accomplishment was the signing of The Immigration Act of 1924. The law limited the amount of immigrants that were allowed into the United States. Only a total of 150,000 people would be allowed in each year. The people of Japan were forbidden from entering the United States under this new law.

Calvin Coolidge has appeared on two United States postage stamps. The first one was issued in 1938 as part of a presidential series. It was a $5 denomination. The second stamp was issued in 1986. It was issued in 22 cent denomination.
