Date of Issue	1970-04-20
Type of Cover	First Day Cover (gummed)
Description	This is probably the most common of the 1970 Cook covers. It is large enough for the strip of five and the large 30c stamp and that's the most common configuration (although there are "Large" Cook covers with either on them around).
Stamps on Cover	5 x 5c (se-tenant), 30c
General Notes	This is a Post Master General (PMG) cover FDC. The cover with cachet was produced by the PMG, but post offices or collectors affixed the stamps so you may see variations in stamp placement.
