You scored getting that stamp on cover, and from my home state no less.
Perhaps the sender only had a 4-cent stamp. To avoid having to buy a stamp at a postal outlet, I’ll sometimes just put enough old stamps on the envelope to ensure delivery.

sometimes the explanation is the most obvious one: this is a double rate cover
2c per 1/2 ounce from 10.1.1883
2c per 1 ounce from 7.1.1885-11.2.1917
it's quite nice cover
Lovely cover, Phil.
