Query on King George V 1d coil leader.
Posted: Wed Jun 30, 2021 1:28 am
Can anyone help us track down this coil leader?
The scans show two O coil leaders, the first showing the price as £2 0 1 and the second as £2 with the figures 0 and 1 deleted with 3 bars.
S.G. 4 Kings Vol 2 14th edition shows a listing for the 0 coil on page 119 with the price shown as £2.0.0.
We cannot find any listing of an 0 leader with the 0.1 deleted, or in fact with the price of £2.0.1.
We have the GBPS publication by Leslie Wilkinson “King George V Stamps Issued In Rolls” which states on page 11 that an 0 roll had been introduced with 480 stamps delivered left side but the price is shown as £2.0.2. But we cannot track down a coil with a price of £2.0.1.
Page 37 of the latter publication has an illustration of a PUC roll with the price amended by overprinting with three black bars which is similar to the amendment on the 0 roll.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Ron and Eunice.
