@StonerMalones-PGO , I'm not from UK, but this looks like the current Queen Elizabeth II cypher (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_cypher).
Postboxes were never eligable unless they are historically or culturally significant. Many UK Wayfinders used some shorthand invoilving the cyphers on the front of a postbox to quickly determine if the box was potentially eligible, but this system was never perfect.
Thanks for your feedback, I'd searched postboxes before submitting, so I was surprised it got rejected, given its integral to the community here.
That being said, it is not a King Ed postbox, which I had submitted it it as - my mistake in that one, I thought it was . Duh!!!
Yes, an actual King Edward would probably be accepted, but this one is Queen Elizabeth, which would be rejected anyway, but doubly so for being mislabelled.
