I'm wondering if any FDC collectors or those of you who have your own FDC's serviced by the USPS have seen or had serviced a cover with dual First Day of Issue cancels on a cover with only one $2 Inverted Jenny stamp? The two cancels would be the 1) large round Black Pictorial cancel and the 2) Digital Color Postmark cancel.

Here's what it might look like:




Thanks in advance for any feedback on this.

I don't know for sure, but I'd say that I don't think that sort of "dual cancel" would be allowed. Typically one cancel/postmark per stamp. Now if you affixed a second stamp, it could be cancelled by one or the other of the postmarks, but it would probably be defined more as a "philatelic creation" than a legitimate postmark.

Thanks....actually I did not know that about 2 different First Day of issue cancels on 1 stamp not being allowed. I guess they have their rules though I'm wondering is it an official stated policy?

Thanks for giving me some insight on this.

I have separate covers with each cancel. I think a single cover with both cancels would be cool.

So if the dual cancel of a single stamp isn't allowed (which I think would be silly, if that's the case) then whats the problem with using 2 stamps and getting a different cancel for each? I realize it would be a "philatelic creation", but would that make it any less valuable or desirable? And aren't most FDC's philatelic creations anyhow? I do have some FDC's that did go through the mail, but most of them did not, they were just philatelic creations, unaddressed, not mailed, purely for collecting.

To the best of my knowledge you can only have it cancelled once. I have dual cancels in my collection but the envelope has been sent in twice. An interesting idea would have been doing the FDC and then taking another stamp and having it cancelled in Jenny Lind Ca. a second time. For your information there is also a third traditional first day cancell.
