What is so special about the collection ?
The Hay Morgan collection is now one of the most complete King George V Commonwealth collections ever assembled and contains almost every mint Commonwealth stamp issued during King George V’s reign including most of the major errors, many plate examples, important proofs, numerous sets and stamps in blocks, as well as some rare covers.
What is the vendor's story?
The Hay Morgan collection of KG V has been built up by a British collector over the past 40 years. Like many philatelists, he caught the collecting bug from his father who was a life long stamp collector focused primarily on King George VI Commonwealth stamps. The collection was started in the early 1980s with a focus on Nevis, following his honeymoon there with his wife. It was then gradually expanded to cover the whole of King George V Commonwealth.
And perhaps most importantly, what are the highlights?
It is incredibly hard to select a handful. We really do have an embarrassment of riches spread across multiple auctions in 2024 and 2025, but a few stand out. The items shared below, along with the rest of this incredible collection, are available to view at our Central London location, 399 Strand. We're also very excited to be displaying many of the highlights at this years Stampex at the Islington Business Design Centre. You can find the details of the event here
