I have a cover from England posted on 4th June 53 with cancellation mark of "Long live the queen" Has it got any special value?

This stamp, SG534, was one of a set of four issued for the Coronation in June 1953. My Stanley Gibbons 2009 catalogue gives a value of £75.00 for a first day cover (with the set of four stamps), actual value somewhat less no doubt. Yours probably less still, maybe £10. The postmark seems to have worked though.

The slogan cancellation was used over a period of time. Your cover isn't a FDC. A full set of stamps on a similar cover as yours would cost around 5 uk pounds. A single value might be worth around 1 uk pound with the cancellation.

As far as I know, I think there was a special cancellation for every reigning monarch during the stamp issuing era?

Here is one from my collection I bought from a local club member for only a dollar. Usually around three or four.
