But since RM started issuing 'series' they are on sale for at least 12 months after the last in the sereis.<br /><br />Thus the current Kings and Queens, which started in 2008 will carry on probably to 2012 + 1 year. The pre-Olympics which started in 2009 will be at least to 2012 + 1 year.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998504259104643425.post-75303316617451394742011-01-11T13:26:34.546+00:002011-01-11T13:26:34.546+00:00Great post, with a superb set of se-tenant train s...Great post, with a superb set of se-tenant train stamps! :)Dorincardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919474118944557430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998504259104643425.post-64587863715727365002011-01-10T14:05:39.122+00:002011-01-10T14:05:39.122+00:00Yes PostMuse, not all stamps, but we can use those...Yes PostMuse, not all stamps, but we can use those issued post 1971 which is when the coinage went decimal. It is uncommon and only tends to be collectors or philately/postcard type companies with a stock. The Royal Mail have a cut off date for selling their commemoratives, not sure how long for but seems to be a couple of years or so.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253875352864018195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998504259104643425.post-75350226727041753792011-01-09T23:07:55.931+00:002011-01-09T23:07:55.931+00:00Lovely stamps.Lovely stamps.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10189946227828236033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998504259104643425.post-26667369160457339862011-01-09T14:11:59.442+00:002011-01-09T14:11:59.442+00:00That's a great subject for se-tenant stamps.

I have no idea what a se-tenant is, but this I guess is a good example. :-)<br /><br />In the USA vintage stamps that are unused can be used on current mail.
