My Scott Specialized shows this stamp to be CVP108. It is a Computer Vended Postage stamp from 2018.

It's a vending machine where you put in an amount of money and it automatically prints up the quantity of stamps you paid for.

Search CVP or computer vended postage here and you'll find quite a few earlier threads.

Canada has produced such stamps. They're listed in the Unitrade catalog with a CP prefix. Here's a scan of CP10 CP11 and CP!4. I purchased these in London ON back in 2013.

My 2023 Unitrade catalog has listings for Computer Vended stamps through 2020. I don't know if they're still being produced.

To add to philatomic's post - the canadian computer postage stamps were apparently discontinued around April 2024

@kira,

Vending machines for stamps have been around for more than a century. Many "coil stamps" come from such machines.
Machines selling labels with variable values were introduced in Switzerland, in 1976. These printed the required amount on a blank label. The labels and machines were produced by FRAMA,
