What
is a first day cover:
A
first day of issue cover
or
first
day cover
(FDC) is a postage stamp on a cover, postal card or stamped
envelope franked on the first day the issue is authorized for use within the
country or territory of the stamp-issuing authority. Sometimes the issue is
made from a temporary or permanent foreign or overseas office. There will
usually be a first day of issue postmark, frequently a pictorial cancellation,
indicating the city and date where the item was first issued, and “first
day of issue” is often used to refer to this postmark. Depending on the policy
of the nation issuing the stamp, official first day postmarks may sometimes be
applied to covers weeks or months after the date indicated.
