Hi all,

My mother wrote "valuable " on the envelope this was in. Does anyone have a different opinion about this postage cancellation stamp celebrating Queen Elizabeth's wedding day?


Thanks!

The stamp appears damaged, and I doubt that the slogan cancellation will bring riches!

I think your mother's caption may be more hopeful than realistic.

"Valuable" is sometimes in the eye of the beholder. I know someone who is not a philatelist but who is an ardent admirer of the late Queen. She would find the stamp and cancel a "treasure," regardless of its monetary value.

Yes, maybe I should get the opinion of an Anglophile. Thanks for your comment!

No takers for this, on sale for £2.50 (around $3).

Might it be the case that the envelope once had something valuable inside, but was just re-used for this, at some point?
