Cancellation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Private cancellations have also been used in the context of local posts and applied to artistamps by their makers. Handmade cancels were typically carved from cork and are known in a bewildering variety of creative designs, collectively known as fancy cancels. Pen cancels may still occasionally be seen (sometimes done with marker), typically when a postal clerk notices that a stamp has not been touched by the automated machinery (though there have sometimes been complaints by stamp collectors of redundant pen cancels by overzealous postal employees). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cancel   (727 words)

Pen cancel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pen cancels are sometimes seen today, as, in order not to lose revenue through stamp reuse, postal employees are instructed to obliterate (through use of pen-cancellation, among other possible methods), stamps missed by the cancelling machine. Depending on the type of pen or marker used, a pen cancel may destroy the value for stamp-collecting purposes of a used stamp, or the cover if it is saved on cover, and this has led to complaints by stamp collectors that postal employees accused of overzealousness have applied overly thick and enthusiastic marker cancels. In the early, pre-ballpoint pen days of adhesive stamps it took longer to apply a pen cancel than a handstamp, which led to the development of handstamped cancellation devices. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pen_cancel   (231 words)

Pen cancels are generally anathema to collectors, though there are cases where, because of scarcity or some special significance, they are acceptable.
