Stampless Covers
The term "Stampless Cover" usually refers (for U.S. postal history) to mail sent before the introduction of postage stamps in 1847.
Stampless covers, either from the prestamp period or those that did not require a postage stamp for mailing, such as military free franks, are highly collectible.
