Learning my terms... would this be considered on cover or simply used...

also is that "Damaged by Canceling Machine" Common?

Thanks,
Blair

re: Seal on Cover

This would be "used ON cover"

and the "damaged by cancelling machine" was somewhat common, yes.

Best kept intact though, as these are becoming more in demand Happy

re: Seal on Cover

Blair,

that's not quite correct; it's called "on piece," it being an element of the cover, but not the entire cover. And it is a "seal," but usually referred to as an "official seal," to help distinguish it from the seals issued by charity organizations.

And Randy is quite correct that it should be kept intact; it's far more valuable with the reason for its existence than just a cancelled seal. it would have been even better had the prveious owner kept the entire cover intact.

you;re asking all the right questions, Blair

David is quite correct, Blair;

...and I defer to him as well regarding the proper descriptive term here;
it most definitely is called "on piece" - thanks, David!Wave

re: Seal on Cover

Thanks David, Randy!

I'm gaining a lot of knowledge from the experts here and I am EXTREAMLY thankful for it. My collection is growing and as it does so that information makes it much more enjoyable. I just hope I don't come off as a pest with all the questions. I love collecting and this forum has become my main go to for info on what I find. Though I must admit I enjoy trying to find the information first by researching articles etc. Often I bring it here for conformation of the information I have already found.... fact checking if you will.

it's hard to believe I started collecting stamps only a few months ago with less than 200 commemoratives found totally by accident... now I have cataloged in my collection almost 1900 stamps.

Thanks to Bob, I'm going to my first stamp show (Florex) next weekend.

and the addiction worsens...

re: Seal on Cover

Blair,

you don't come across as a pest at all; quite the contrary. your question showed that you've already paid attention to things and are trying to see if the combination applies and the names for it. I think those are wise questions.

plus Randy and I get a chance to converse on your nickle, we get to see interesting postal history, with a question that adds context..... what could be better?

re: Seal on Cover

Thanks David!

Back when I was Heavily into African Cichlids I ran a couple of forms and was a mod on several more. I know I used to love the questions from people who were new to the hobby.

One of my proudest days was when one of my photos of a cichlid I raised was selected to be featured on a UNESCO World Heritage Centre Mission Report.

you can see the report here:
