Hi all, I am confused as to the PM date on this FDC. My SG says issue date of 2d Queen Mother 28 March 1951. This cover is a Neville Menz - Darling Downs Series FDC postmarked 28 February 1951. Any idea as to how the PM on the cover is 1 month prior to issue date, or am I missing something ?.   |

It is entirely possible the cancellation stamp was set wrong of course - whether this was issued early, or if the cancellation is in error, either way this is a really nice FDC with an interesting anomaly!

Hi, casso ! Thanks for an interesting post! Just for added confirmation, I checked my copy of the 2008 Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue, and it shows the same issue date as SG: 28-Mar-1951. So, you have something unusual and interesting there, but a little unclear how it came about, although I agree that Chris's ( cjoprey ) observations seem as reasonable as any I could have come up with. |
