<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1820027, member: 66&quot;]As to the question about why the envelopes had glue on the flap when the mint wasn&#039;t sealing them, most likely they simply purchased envelopes from a manufacturer and had them printed.&nbsp; Typically manufacturers of envelopes make them with glue on the flap and they probably just filled the order using stock envelopes rather than make a special run without glue on the flaps.&nbsp; (They may have also have made the envelopes from pre-printed stock, but why bother disconnecting the equipment that applied the glue?)&nbsp; Also sometimes the mint DID use the glue on the flap and seal them.&nbsp; If someone ordered a single set the mint would sometimes just seal the envelope, address it, apply postage and mail it to the buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
