i purchased this cover with letter yesterday at the show..who knows why..i am a stamp collector do I need a reason ? I am certain someone can fill us in on the Last Day of Issue of South Africas Coronation Stamps !

Too funny. "last day cover" plays havoc searching my database I reduce to "last" and I get a plethora of "plastic","custers last stand" etc I thought I had a last day cover, alas, it was a "Last Sunday Postmark" of GB
It appears to be so innocuous, as to suggest a deeper meaning, but it appears to be the date the stamp is withdawn <officially> from sale by the issuing authority.
I looked up the font of knowledge "ask Phil.com" :) nothing there
Here are "Last dates of Issue" of Aussie material and a Machin. Does that help?
