  1. I think the royal silhouette needs reworking. It really doesn't look like anything. It was OK for the late Queen because you had neck, shoulders, hair and the coronet, but this is just a blob. (No disrespect to Charles, I think it would be the same for any male!)

    1. WK - I agree that this is the least satisfactory Charles III cameo to be used on stamps. For me the neck is to thick & makes him appear double-chinned.
