United States of America - North Carolina

In my World envelope collection I do not just want to have envelopes from stamp-issuing countries and territories, but also from other regions. This includes the 50 states of the United States of America. This envelope comes from the state of North Carolina, lying in the south eastern region of the United States. It was the 12th state, admitted in 1789.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nations, state birds and Greetings series and the stamp commemorating the 200th anniversary of statehood. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Raleigh to be postmarked. It arrived back in a bit more than a month but with a very light postmark and with a machine cancellation.

Date sent: 5 May 2017
Date postmark: 3 June 2017
Date received: 9 June 2017
Number of days: 35
Envelope in collection: 154
