Diamond Jubilee Machin & Wilding from Prestige Stamp Book

I should have provided these Diamond Jubilee PSB images much earlier, my apologies to Chris who sent them on 2 June. 

The first shows clearly the MPND code on the Jubilee Machin from the 31 May PSB.  The other shows phosphor bands well clear of the perforations on the definitive pane in the booklet.   In my experience the shortness at the top is not matched by phosphor over-running the perforations at the foot of the pane, so the overall height of the phosphor band is less than the gap between the perforations.


If I could scan like this I could tell whether our stock is really as short as that!

Diamond Jubilee Prestige Stamp Book panes - in draft, at least

We are now able to show preliminary images of the panes in the Diamond Jubilee Prestige Stamp Book.  

It is clear from the perforations that these are studio mock-ups and we are not sure in which order they will appear.  The Machin stamp will almost certainly have a new security code in the iridescent overprint.  As far as we know, the Wilding stamp will not have any security overprint.  We don't know whether and of the stamps are gummed or self-adhesive.





As you will be able to work out, the total face value is £11.84.  We understand that the selling price will be £12.77.
