USA: Independence Hall in Philadelphia

On Tuesday I got three postcards: one from the USA, one from the United Kingdom and one from Germany.

The card from the USA shows the Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The Independence Hall was built between 1732 and 1753. First it was known as Pennsylvania State House and housed the colonial legislature for the Province of Pennsylvania. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was signed there and in 1787 the Constitution of the United States. Since 1979 is the Independence Hall on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is an official card: US-6452902.


With nice stamps:
Cactus Flowers (from set of ten) (issued 15-02-2019)
50 years Moon Landing (whole set) (issued 19-07-2019)
The stamps have a shiny silver effect, because they were printed on chrome paper.


Thank You very much Kevin!
