Today a little bubble mailer showed up with an EF40 1888p Morgan,
and a strange message rubber-stamped on it: (They have a rubber stamp
for this?) Too bizarre, I'll keep the coin as a pocket piece...


Yes they do have that stamp. The bubble packs travel in bags and sometimes when the postal
people dump out the bags a piece of mail will get hung up and not fall out. Than the bag
gets put in another bag with about 20 more empty bags and that bag may not be reopende and
used for weeks or months.



Prior to "bagging the bags" each empty bag should be "elbowed". This
means placing your elbow in one end of the top of the bag and your
hand at the other end. If this is done, no mail would be left in the
bag.

Yep that's right that is the way it is "supposed" to be done.
