Congress approved the War Revenue Law of 1898 to meet the increased demands for Federal revenue during the Spanish-American War. The law was to become effective on July 1, 1898, leaving only seventeen days before the new stamps were needed. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing had already started work on the dies, rolls and plates in anticipation of its passage, but they were still unable to issue stamps when the law went into effect. The provisional overprints were a result. US$0 (Image)
