The King George VI collection is rare and consists of nearly all different shades, papers, watermarks, watermark positions and overprinted issues, one such overprint, the 10 shilling (10/-) Coronation robes printed by W.C.G. McCracken; until late 2015 was an unlisted specimen.

I do have many scarce and rare error varieties of the half-penny kangaroo (including rare errors of the B.C.O.F) but they are allocated in a section of their own, which I will upload later on.

Here is the link to the King George VI collection.

You will need to click onto an image to enlarge the stamp and to read the info above it. When the stamp is enlarged you will notice arrows on both ends, this allows you to view each stamp as a slideshow. If you want to use the slide show it is best to start from the beginning.

Hope you like the display.

"Very nice looking collection, Rob."



Thanks Mike, that collection took many years to put together, they are in direct order of issue. There are still 4 major issues (the £1 Robes Specimen and the very thin paper 10/-, £1 and £2 Coat of Arms), they will set me back an estimated $6,700.

It is not a money issue but an availability issue in the specific condition I want. I have one very thin paper Coat of Arms and that is the claret 5/- which is shown in the KG VI collection.

Very soon I'll be displaying the complete definitive collection of Queen Elizabeth II from 1953 to 1966 with nearly all the interesting shades and nearly all the rare issues and varieties that I was able to obtain from that first 13 years of her reign.

And I also have all the stamps from 1967 - 2016 including all Specimens, but it would be a full time job to upload them in an album format as there are just over 3,000 of them.

My kingdom for a High Definition camcorder, which is on my high priority got to get list.

Just need to know what is a very good camcorder.

They are very nice indeed.

How do you keep these. For such a nice collection, you would want to have them in a controlled environment (and in a fireproof safe I suspect).

Very good question. Yes I do keep them in a controlled environment, by using a camera cabinet that has temperature controls that I keep at a safe temperature, usually at room level.

It is much better than a safe.
