[Mike Lazaroff K3AIR]

I work in a county government office that receives a lot of mail, and it is
amazing how much of it is delivered with uncancelled stamps.  On a fairly
regular basis, we get 23c, 37c, and $1 stamps on envelopes with no
cancellation marks whatsover.  Our Federal tax dollars "working" again.

If this is common across the country, and any significant portion are being
"re-cycled" it's no wonder the postal service claims they're losing money.

> Brian, I have at least a dozen recent samples......one of which, after
close inspection with a magnifying glass, I can see, (I THINK ) that it was
previously cancelled (very lightly).  They may infact be using some rather
sophisticated methods in fact.

address on the envelope.....then......it either gets delivered or ends up in
the junk mail box.
