This is also our first blog post for a Denominational Stamp (I.e. one that is for a specific dollar value, opposes to a specific usage.)

I chose this stamps for today's blog post, as it is an sort of unusual example of multiple stamps on the same envelope. The reason people use multiple stamps is to add up to the correct postage amount. Because of the low value, this stamp would always be used with other stamps. In this case, as this org had a non-profit permit, they needed $0.05 to cover the postage, so they used $0.05 cent stamps.

The middle stamps features the Plate Number #222222. This is our first stamp with a plate number in our collection.
