In 1996, the Post Office went on strike. For 30 days only companies could issue stamps for Private Delivery Post. As far as I know Coincraft was the only company to take up that option. We hired the same firm that printed stamps for the Post Office to print our stamps. We did four different themes each consisting of six different denominations: 1p, 10p, 25p, 50p, £1 and £5 stamps. We just discovered in one of our warehouses some complete collections of the Coincraft Private Delivery Post Stamps. Each of the stamps depict a coin that was actually issued, there could be NO copyright infringement. These stamps are now 31 years old and the only ones from the Postal Strike you can collect. Each sheet contains five sets of 6 stamps each. You will get: Charles & Diana blue sheet, pink sheet with perforations and imperforated and Special cover. Edward VIII blue sheet with perforations one imperforated, specimen and Special cover. Andy & Fergie blue sheet with perforations one imperforated and Special cover. Olympics pink sheet with perforations and one imperforated and Special cover. That is a total of 10 sheets 50 sets of stamps, 300 stamps and four Special covers.
