Should discuss subject of private overprints, or mention and link to a new article in which this can be more extensively discussed. Private overprints, while generally making stamps invalid for postage (when not they have been used as control marks by businesses, etc.), have been used for commemorative and propaganda purposes by private individuals. Mention should, for example, be made of the woman who, during the Vietnam war, precancelled her stamps with "Pray for War" and the resulting brouhaha. --Daniel C. Boyer 15:26, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
