Stamps & First Day Covers

500 King Edward VIII 1/2d green overprinted 5 Centimes Morocco Agencies for use in our Moroccan Territories. Edward VIII only lasted 10 months and there were only four (4) of his stamps made, so these mint stamps are most unusual and can be used in many different ways.

King Edward VIII abdicated to marry Mrs. Simpson and they became the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. They were married in a French chateau and none of their British relatives attended. There were two different covers issued to mark their marriage and they have either a photograph or a drawing on them and are both franked with a French stamp dated 1937. This cover was issued with a drawing of the pair. We bought a large group years ago and now we are running out. This might well be your last chance to get one or both of these historic covers which are now 85 years old!

In 1981 when Charles and Diana got married, the Royal Mint was experimenting with a new finish for their coins. They call them Brilliant Uncirculated but experienced numismatists know that they are better so they call them what they are, specimens. They are Prooflike, the surfaces are clear of any imperfections and they are just better condition than any coin you will find in your change. These Crowns come in a full colour bubble pack showing the engaged couple with Diana in her famous blue dress. Inside they outline the history of the House of Windsor and show St. Pauls. It has been some time since we last had any of these bubble pack crowns and with the current interest in decimal coins, these should be quite popular.

In 2002 H. M. Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Golden Jubilee as our Queen, 1952-2002. To honour this event some of the Commonwealth nations issued either crowns or stamps.

This large sized CrownCover was issued by Mercury in 2002 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II 50th anniversary as our Queen. It has two $1.50 stamps from Guyana and the crown or Dollar from Sierra Leone that is so special. The reverse shows H.M. Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and two locals enjoying the palm fringed scene. The obverse of the coin has the arms of Sierra Leone. We have never seen this crown before. We think it's because it was struck only for these covers.

It is now some 17 years since H. M. the Queen celebrated her 50th anniversary of being our Monarch. It was celebrated with this handsome First Day Cover and Crown and now you can add one to your collection. The cover shows the Queen in bright pink coat. The coin shows the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh. The crown is from one of her most remote territories, Sierra Leone. The crown is struck in Proof cupro-nickel. I don’t know what the original issue price was, but I think that our price of just £9.50 is very reasonable considering that this crown and cover is now 17 years old.
