In this cases a new file will be available.  You can check in this blog the newest version of the file. Every year starting in 2010 will have a separate file.

Version 2.00 - Update to November 22, 2011

Download from here:

DOUBTFUL - Tchad 2011

9 more blocks. 18 in total counting the previously 9 published.

Wrong statue

http://newlhstamps.blogspot.com/2010/12/20101201-united-states.html

Sadly the photo in this stamp IS NOT from the original Liberty Statue.  A photo from the statue from Las Vegas was used for the design. Unbelievable.  So, this never was a lighthouse. I will remove this stamp from the list.
