Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. Usage that does not fall under fair use requires a license from the USPS. This includes usage of the stamp's artwork to illustrate its subject, rather than the stamp itself.

Fair use in Transportation coils edit

It is believed that this image qualifies under fair use because:

• The image depicts an example of the subject of the article.
• The image displayed is of sufficiently small resolution as to not hamper or dilute the copyright holder's use of the original stamp design.
• Since the subject of the article is the postage stamp series issue itself, any derivative image would fail to convey the information that an image of the actual stamp could.
