I have got a 1953 Coronation FDC but the cancel date is the 1st not the 2nd, what does this mean?
Does this make it not really a FDC because its not cancelled the first day is it?
It is very unusual, it means that the cancellation was made the day before the stamps were issued (was someone being naughty). You could check with the Issuers, www.royalmail.com/stamps, they issue first day covers and may be able to explain. I wondered if it could be from some British dependancy which uses UK stamps and is in a time zone ahead of us. If it is a genuine mistake then you could have a more valuable item on your hands.
