More on pre-printed King Charles stamps on Direct Mail (PPI)

We in the UK hear a lot about 'non-doms' in the media and from politicians and tax campaigners.  If you are not aware of this don't worry, this is just a play on words, because here we have what is, as far as I can recall, the first 'non-denom'.  An NVI in the truest sense!

Apparently this is the latest mailshot 'To The Occupier' from the Salvation Army and the picture was sent to me today by DR, who says a number of his friends have received them.  

I don't think we have seen one like this before, nor from the previous reign (though your memory may be better than mine!).

Non-denominated 2nd class green PPI King Charles III definitive on Salvation Army mailshot.

UPDATE 23 April 2024

My thanks to Jon on Stampboards for showing this amazingly poor example of the 2nd class King Charles PPI - it should, of course, be green.


Mailshot from Leaders of Great Britain (LCGB) of London, events organisers, with very poorly printed 2nd class King Charles III imprinted stamp.

  1. This really is what Digital Stamps should have been from the start as the 'Second' value has been used irrespective of whether the item was a Second Class or an Economy PPI. For Large Letters I've had roughly equal numbers with a 'Second' or a 'Second Large' ( Elizabeth or Charles ) Digital Stamp, the 'Second' obviously being wrong and surely subject to the occasional erroneous challenge by Revenue Protection which would make an interesting postal History item.
