This postage stamp is over 120 years old and was issued in 1898 at the Trans Mississippi Expo in Omaha, Nebraska.

It commemorates the great westward migration of the United States. On it is a herd of cattle in a dust storm. Ears of corn frame the sides of the design.

It’s part of a larger set of stamps, each depicting a unique scene of the westward migration, with one even depicting a dead horse.

It had a postal value of $1, which equals $30 in today’s money. They printed less of them, making them more rare. According to the Scott Stamp Catalog, this stamp is worth $1,500.
