Can I use these stamps

My 3 year old did this to my stamps. Are they still usable??

Maybe you can ask at the Postoffice in your neighbourhood

I would try to use them but take to post office, explain and have them handstamp the envelope.

It’s very common that post office staff are cancelling our postage with their official Stamp. It’s very rare that our own kid cancel it (of course, we may get them cancelled intentionally if desired, but that’s apart here). I would suggest you to treasure it. It has its own value beside the normal postage value. :love_letter:

My respect to your three year old for giving them a nicer cancellation than the USPS, but technically they aren’t usable now.

@shootingstar7 I suggest you hide them from now on. But technically no, not usuable. They could possibly exchange them. I have never had this happened but it is worth asking.

I suggest you take the sheet to your local post office and ask them to replace the cancelled stamps. It is obvious that they are unused while still on their original sheet. If you put them on a card or envelope as postage it might look like they have been used before.

I will try this out of curiosity. Thanks for the suggestion!
