USA Meter Stamp - Box Type Postage Due Slogans

United States · 2017 · 5¢, 10¢

Two examples of United States meter stamps, each featuring a rectangular box design with 'US POSTAGE' at the top, 'DUE' prominently in the center, and the denomination (5 or 10 CENTS) at the bottom. Both include a wavy line cancellation and a date/location imprint.

Meter stamps represent a modern method of postage payment, particularly for bulk mail, offering efficiency over traditional adhesive stamps. Postage due markings like these indicate underpaid mail, requiring the recipient to cover the deficit upon delivery.
