The 20 was cut out of the insert with a razor. Hello???
So where is the "19"?
You're making your argument solely on the aspect of the 80/08 insert and completely disregarding the missing "19".
Shouldn't the year be 1980 and not just 80?

Where’s the 19?

There is no 19 because there is no 19. Got it?

Every other stamp out of that office in 1980 had 1980 because they were stamped in 1980. This forgery was stamped in 2008.

That’s exactly why that stamp looks so strange to a former postal worker using these stamps for 25+ years. It is so obvious that the first two digits (what ever they were, probably 20) were cut off, but I still can’t believe they didn’t even try to center the 80.

I have never, ever seen the year on one of these stamps represented as just two digits.

Hope this doesn’t double post as I am having a problem getting it to post.
