Missing in Newcastle I have said before from day to day you never really know what will turn up next. In July 1980 someone in Newcastle had a very busy day. We have just bought in a small quantity of unaddressed Post Office covers, with a Newcastle Upon Tyne FDI postmark, but the key thing with these is the 12p stamp is missing the ‘p’.

We would normally see these around once a year and they never stay in stock long at £150 each, buying a quantity means we can now offer this rare First Day Cover error for £25 each, the same price Stanley Gibbons list the mint stamp. FC4019EN £25 We believe there was just one of these stamps in each sheet, so whoever CALL US ON stuck these covers, must have gone through nearly every sheet in the North East! 01303 278137

ARB58 £400 The very scarce 1902 Coronation Day Beckenham Celebrations postcard, Tucks design. The committee for the Beckenham coronation celebrations organised a balloon flight for which two overprinted postcards were produced, one by Tucks and the other by Faulkner. They were flown and dropped from the balloon over three different parts of Kent and then forwarded onto the addressee with the balloon landing in Calais. It is believed that fewer than 10 cards of either type have survived, making this one of the rarest balloon post postcards in this country.
