Hi Melvin,
Could you scan the sheet and post the image for us?

Most likely, this is just a Wash. D.C. precancel....
The C79 was issued with precancel style #81 (stamp no. AM13A in the Noble bureau catalog numbering system)
(Catalog value for this issue precanceled is 25c)
Hope this helps!

Randy, thanks for the info. I do not collect precancels, therefore I have no references.
Tim, I am not real computer literate, but will try and post a scan when I can figure out how to down size the image. Thanks for your help.

Tim and Randy, I checked Ebay to see if there was anything that looked like what I have and lo and behold there it was. Instead of me posting a scan, check out the following on Ebay. Item #230696854694 and item #120832739604. Both advertise as C79b and the price range is somewhat different!!!! (Hope I am not breaking any rules re: SOR and Ebay.)
Randy, if you have picture of the congressional precancel, would you mind posting a scan?
Again, thanks for the info and I am still working on posting scans.

Those are standard bureau pre-cancels used by the post office in Washington, DC. Similar pre-cancels were prepared and used throughout the USA.

You're right - it IS a big price difference.
If the Ebay seller gets that price, they are very lucky; if a buyer PAYS that price they are VERY uninformed.
The sheet would be worth approximately $25.
What Ebay says and what reality says is quite often two completely different things.
I'll see if I have a copy to post here.
