Australia £1 Coronation Registered FDC

Hi  sharonb

Thanks, I'm glad it gives you good reading. It is recorded as the only cover known, and it will fits really well with the other Coronation stamps I have. I'll be looking for the FDCs of the 5/-, 10/- and £2 (The £2 is going to be very difficult to locate). Here is how my collection looks like at the moment. Missing are the other 2 specimens (a MacCracken printing in dark blue with the same blue-black overprint as the Ash overprint, and there is an Ash grey-black overprint. The McCracken and the latter overprint are the two specimens I do not have, and there are coversw and varieties I need to collect. 

The 5// stamp with the strong offset is the back of the stamp and is rare (about 20 exist and 5 known to exist in this condition). The posthumous proof is a stamp printed from the original plate many years later.
