It isn't the stamp, it is the cancellation that makes a First Day of Issue. And what you will have in the US is a cancellation that has two bars top and bottom with the words First Day of Issue in between. The bull's eye will be on the left side with the city and date on it.Many countries include some related picture in the cancellation. Ideally the cancel will clearly 'tie' the stamps to the cover, making it obvious that the stamp was on the envelope when the cancellation was applied.
Is it better to leave the stamps on the envelopes or to remove them?
It depends a great deal on the stamp and how old it is. If there is a special cancellation or cachet on the envelope, it is better to keep it on the envelope. The older the stamp the more likely that the envelop will have more value than the plain stamp. It is better to leave the stamps on the envelope because there is a postage mark that goes over the stamp. That will give the stamp more value.
