Australian States: Tasmania, Extraordinary Nearly Complete Collection of Mint & Used, 1853-1910, A truly exceptional collection of several hundred stamps all mounted neatly on Scott pages. Certainly one of the finest collections of Tasmaniathat we have had teh pleasure to offer, missing only a handful of raritiesfor completion. Includes specialized pieces such as a cancelled proof of Scott #2, mint strip of four of 116, used strip of 3, of 126, small neat mourning cover with#14, and a used block of 8 of Scott 34. Mint highlights include: 9, 11, 16, 23, 24, 32, 34, 45, 48, 58, 59, 76-85, 86-93, 102-111, 114-116. Noteworthy used includes: 1, 2 (2), 4-5, 6 (2), 7-8, 10, 12-15, shades of the 1857 issue. Additional shades of the 1858 issue, 1864-1869 perf issue used, unpriced double impression of 23c, 25-28, 35, 37, 39, 43, 46. A few faults as to be expected. However a careful collector acquired mainly nice quality with many well margined and centered stamps, definately well above the norm adn worth strong consideration. A huge Scott value and certainly much higher in Stanley Gibbons, Scott $34,874.
