Sale number: S24020 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. 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. The quality is very high throughout with many of the items having been acquired from Stanley Gibbons. “The collection displays the specialist depth of a patient philatelist with an unwavering eye for quality and is replete with major rarities of the highest importance.” - Dr Philip Kinns, Emeritus Director of Philately, Stanley Gibbons The owner, who has been a member of the Royal Philatelic Society for many years, remains an active collector today focussed on the King George V WW1 G.R.I. overprints, the Indian Feudatory States and Nevis.
