U.S. Cover 3¢, 6¢ and 13¢ Postage

U.S. stamp cover of mixed  topics, i.e. presidents, nature, medicine, conservation, that was received a few days ago. Most have a 13¢ denomination which were issued in the 1970s.

The most interesting is the 3-cent postage stamp from 1937,  featuring three Civil War generals: William Tecumseh Sherman, Ulysses S. Grant, and Philip Sheridan. The stamp was part of a series honouring important 18th- and 19th-century U.S. Army officers. It was issued by the Post Office Department on 18 February 1937. 

This stamp is not valid for postage today. As of 31 July 2023, old stamps without a barcode (note bottom of envelope) are no longer valid unlike Pos Malaysia stamps.
