Post office secret: if it’s coded “presort std” where the stamp goes, its most likely junk.
Edit: Gold? For this? Wow. Never gotten the gold before! My ego is way huge now! My wife already can’t stand it!
Also, I thought this was way more common knowledge than previously thought. If this helps one person tell the difference between mail to get worked up over (like legit IRS letters) and mail to disregard (NRA notices, campaign contributions, coupons for expired gas station sushi) then I’m glad to help.

I work at an envelope factory where we make alot of 'publishers clearing House' envelopes. Every single one of those is designed to look time critical and important. Also alot of junk mailers are going to start having "live stamps" so add that to a envelope that was printed to look like hand writing, you're actively trying to take advantage of elderly people who don't know it's junk mail, and not some family member asking for help.
