Early in this thread smauggie mentions an album of these stamps published at the time of the coronation. Picked this up at an estate auction a couple of weeks ago. I think it's the one he's talking about. Contains about 100 stamps (rough count)

thanks, Daniel. $5! No other bidders.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it, since it's not really my area, but it is pretty, and a nice artifact, so I'll enjoy it for a while, anyway.

Just found two of these books on ebay, albeit with blue covers. Sellers are asking $250 and $735 for them. Yikes! No takers yet though.

I believe there were 62 stamps in the omnibus issue using the Dorothy Wilding portrait photograph, and a total of 175 million stamps issued. See below for Dorothy Wilding's photograph of the Queen. The Westminster outfit are asking £295 for a complete album collection.

This be of interest? Postcard dated 30 April 1954, the year after the coronation, but with both King George Vl and Queen Elizabeth ll stamps. Tied with Tonbridge Wells CDS and wavy cancel.

Same to you! And a hot Canada Day. It's 31c in Montreal now and it could reach 33c!

Very nice picture of the Queen when she was young.

Hi timbres667,

Isn't it just terrific. Full range of tones and eye contact. Dorothy Wilding knew what she was about.
