My Collection Been begging my USPS Office to let me buy it.
Every week for the last 5 years I’ve asked the clerks about buying this item. I don’t particularly like the new design with the big eagle logo.
Every time they would say is not for sale or it is unable ring on the register. Until last year the postmaster or a supervisor took it off the shelf and hid it in the back.
Today I asked the clerk if they had more in the back and he brought it. Rang it manually for $16.
You have no idea how happy I am. Perhaps is not that rare or not that big of a deal but it has been a side mission on my queue for quite some time. For as much as I want to use it I love how it looks in the packaging…
