1953 Coronation Stamps

I have a complete set of both MNH singles and FDCs for the 1953 QE2 Coronation series. There were a total of 106 stamps from 78 different nations, territories, colonies, etc.

I also made a set of 11 album pages for these using AlbumEasy. Clive should have the pages available for free on his website (thestampweb.com) shortly, both as a printable pdf and as a text file for users of AE who want to modify the pages to suit their own styles. Here's a few pages as examples. The first image is a page without stamps. The rest have my stamps mounted.








The 39 FDC pages have spaces for two FDCs per page.

Hi emilyhem, and welcome to the forum. I believe your stamp is one of a set of twelve issued in 1977. It sells for probably about 15-20 cents

uboatnut,
Those QE2 Coronation pages look really great.
And thanks for sending them to me, I should have them up on the AlbumEasy web site over the weekend for anyone who would like to print their own.

They are available now at thestampweb.com.

Select "ALBUMS" and scroll down to TOPICAL, THEMATIC, AND OMNIBUS ISSUES

Very messy, but I rather like this cover, which includes the stamps from the various parts of Malaya



As omnibus issues go, this wasn't too bad - good design and low face-values. The Agents had obviously learned from the disaster of the Silver Wedding omnibus, with its high values that only the wealthy could afford. The key to the non-Agent-designed Coronation issues is that they were issued by GB itself and its Dominions, which had a different status to the main run of colonies.
