Kent produced 75 of the original stamps in order to raise money to build a community house in the settlement of Idglorssuit, Greenland, where he was living at the time; very few of those original 75 have survived. Upon his return to the United States, Kent had 200 more printed from his original printing block by the Pynson Printers of New York.
