United States of America - Pennsylvania

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 Pennsylvania, lying in the Northeastern, Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic regions of the Southern United States. It was the 2nd state, admitted in 1787.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nation, 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 Harrisburg to be postmarked. It arrived back in just over two weeks with some of the most perfect postmarks I ever got from the United States.

Date sent: 5 June 2017
Date postmark: 15 June 2017
Date received: 20 June 2017
Number of days: 15
Envelope in collection: 180
