S.G. #4/69 |
S.G. #4/69, Worthwhile mint/unused collection consisting of 64
different stamps, 1853-1902, with the greatest concentration of value to be
found in a very nice selection of classic Triangle issues, which virtually
all have three full margins, includes such better items as 1853 4p Blue on
slightly blued paper (two different shades), 1858 6p Pale rose lilac and 6p
Deep rose lilac, 1858-59 1/- Bright yellow green and Deep dark green, and
the 1863-64 De La Rue issues well represented including the 1/- Bright
emerald green and 1/- Pale emerald green, collection is also quite solid
from the beginning of the perforated issues from 1864 right on through to
1902; as always with collections of this area, small faults and or no gum
are found on the early issues, although their overall condition is much
better than usual for a mint collection, unused to o.g., generally
fine-very fine; catalog value is quite considerable, undoubtedly exceeding
$15,000.00 in Scott, and much higher by Stanley Gibbons (Scott #2a/71). |
