A keen-eyed collector picked up on a serious photographic mess-up on the part of the United States Postal Service.
The real Lady Liberty is the famous 300 foot statue on Liberty Island in New York city, gifted by the French in 1886. The replica is outside of the New York-New York Casion in Las Vegas, was erected in 1997 and is about half the size of the original — yet somehow the USPS selected a photo of the latter for their Lady Liberty stamp. The discrepancy was spotted by weekly stamp collecting magazine Linn's Stamp News.
