United States of America - West Virginia

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 West Virginia, lying in the Appalachian region of the Southern United States. It was the 35th state, admitted in 1863.

The stamps were affixed by me and come from the Flags of our nation and Greetings series and the stamp commemorating the 150th anniversary of statehood. I sent the envelope to the post office in the capital Charleston to be postmarked. It arrived back with a nice postmark, but also with a terrible machine cancellation.

Date sent: 26 May 2017
Date postmark: 13 June 2017
Date received: 20 June 2017
Number of days: 25
Envelope in collection: 178
