US postage stamp, 1988
“13.2¢ Coal Car”
Scott #2259

Issued: July 19, 1988 - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Quantity: 425,011,000
Designer: Richard Schlecht
Printed By: Bureau of Engraving and Printing (Engraved)

Until the mid-19th century, coal was hauled to the surface by mules or by the miners themselves - making mining a slow and dangerous process. With the development of the locomotive, coal was soon being carried by a variation of the railroad car - the coal mining car.

Precancels are stamps canceled before being sold, to make mailing faster and cheaper for customers with large amounts of mail.
