| Postal History 1953 4th June, envelope bearing QEII 1d Coronation block of four (SG 186), lightly cancelled 'PORT STANLEY' on the First Day of issue. Addressed to the USA, and delivered via Argentina, the postal authorities there not recognising the issue as valid, the block scored around in blue crayon, struck with boxed 'T2' cachet and 'BUENOS AIRES' datestamp alongside. No further postal strikes. Interesting and unusual. |
