Product Description
Stamps with security features were first issued on 17 February 2009. No coils were issued.Coils of 10,000 intended for mailing houses were produced in 2009, 2010 and possibly 2011. Royal Mail refused to issue these through the Philatelic Bureau or Dealer Accounts and thus they were not distributed by them singly or in strips to collectors.
2nd class blue Machin self-adhesive security stamp from coils 2012 version by Enschede with codes MA12 and MRIL - used on bulk mailing. This is the only type of cancellation - applied by the mailing house - which we think may be applied at the same time as the address on non-window envelopes.
