My British Commonwealth Project

Hello, One & All,
Thought it was time to share this, to those that might be interested.
As most of you know QE-II was crowned Queen in 1953. The British Commonwealth
countries/protectorates wasted no time in commemorating this event by adding their design(s) to her Omnibus set.
For the last 20+ years I have been adding at least 1 complete representative BCW set for each of these countries. All sets are complete & MNH only, but not necessarily
sets of QE-II. Many countries are represented w/ sets of her father, Geo-VI and/or
her gramps, Geo-V.
I am now finishing the 'collection' by adding a representative set from each of the 11
Malaysian States. e.g. Kelantan, Johore, Kedah, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Perlis, Penhang, Perak, Trengganu & Selangor. (The other 2, Sabah & Sarawak have long been completed & I have them in a separate book).
Can't help but wonder exactly what I'm going to do 'collecting-wise' when all the Omnibus countries are represented!
Maybe, a completed set of all Puffin Island issues?
Having fun at 74,

Thanks Bob,
Although I still have a handful of countries to finish my 'Omnibus-QE-II-Omnibus Collection', I shall give this some consideration as I'm pretty much open to all things philatelic.
Upon re-reading my primary 'screed', I left out one thing. [ I do not collect any BCW sets after 1970. Using the SG catalogues w/ only stamps issued years 1840-1970 has really come in handy.]
Oh, & Thanks to all who gave me 'Likes'

Greetings Bob,
Sorry, I can see where I should have been more succinct. The set I used is the QE-II 1953 Omnibus Coronation set. Most countries issued stamps w/ just her portrait, the country's name at the bottom and the denomination atop on either sides. There were a handful of countries who opted for a different coronation design and some of these had more than one stamp in their sets. (All, however were issued in 1953) I have included those countries as part of my collected country perimeters, as well. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Harry

 

Bob,
I like you idea of collecting the 1st QE-II definitive sets issued directly after her coronation. The problem I had was that there were so many really beautiful
Geo-VI & Geo-V sets that I ended up 'having to have'...You know, that hard-biting old collecting bug!
