United States of America - Alaska

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 Alaska, lying in the northwest of the United States. It was the 49th state, admitted in 1959.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nation and Greetings series and the stamp commemorating the 50th anniversary of statehood. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Juneau to be postmarked. It arrived back in just fifteen days with two perfect datestamps.

Date sent: 5 May 2017
Date postmark: 13 June 2017
Date received: 20 June 2017
Number of days: 15
Envelope in collection: 175
