Germany, Almost All Mint Never Hinged Collection, 1872-1945, This collection, in a hingeless Davo album, begins with a powerful first page of Imperial Eagles, fresh looking, on the whole very well-centered, and most with very legible c.d.s.'s, a few socked right on the nose! Used until ca. 1919, then all mint and almost all never hinged, and we know, especially for Germany, how this dramatically effects catalogue value. Better mint include #340-343, 366-384, 432-435, 442-443, 444-445, 446-447, 448-451, 459-462, B8-B11, B15-B18, B23-B27, B33, B38-B41, B58, B79-B81, B91-B92, B93-B101, B102-B106, B107-B115, B123-B131, B134-B136, B141-B143, B173, B292-B293, C38-C39, O62-O79, OL16-OL21, S1-S11, and Danzig #241-254.

Germany, "Fun with Inflation" Part I Mint Collection, 1923, No one likes inflation, except maybe a stamp collector. In Germany, the years following WWI saw inflation running rampant and things finally blew up in 1923 when even a wheelbarrow full of money could barely cover the cost of a loaf of bread. Stamps were feverishly surcharged in an effort to keep up with inflation, and as you can imagine, not every printing went according to plan. This lot in two binders is loaded with surcharge varieties, some listed in Michel, others not. Featuring both flat plate & rotary printings, there are plenty of corner margin copies, pairs and blocks of various sizes with HAN numbers, row values, plate numbers, and sheet serial numbers or marginal control numbers. There are wildly misplaced surcharges, surcharge errors, such as MiNr. 332 DD I, which is a 10-billion surcharge on top of an already-existing 5-billion surcharge, and this one is both signed and has an accompanying certificate. Other errors too, like MiNr. 334 APF, which is a 10-billion surcharge on the 10-million stamp. There are plate variations, color shades, and undoubtedly plenty more to be discovered. From the looks of it, most of it is never hinged, especially the blocks and strips, generally Fine to Very Fine, this collection may be viewed in its entirety online.

Germany, "Fun with Inflation" Part II Mostly Mint Collection, 1923, We continue our series on the inflationary stamps of Germany with this collection beginning with Scott #280, the 500,000 Mark stamp, which quite incredibly is the lowest denomination in the set! Two binders present a seemingly endless parade of mostly never hinged mint singles, pairs, strips and blocks, many of which have either row values, plate numbers, marginal inscriptions or the highly-collectable HANs (Hausauftragsnummern), which can be best translated as a "print shop job order". Listed in Michel, you'll find a slew of them, as well as many other items of interest now listed in Scott, such as #282a, a color variety, plate varieties, like 286a, and perf varieties, an example of which is 297a as an imperf pair. Shifted values, omitted values, even inverted values, such as 289b. Misperfs and double perforations, errors, such as MiNr. 314 APF (one stamp missing value in a strip of five), and some privately done surcharges from the so-called "Rheinische Republik" as footnoted in Michel. An absolute treasure trove for the specialist! generally Fine to Very Fine, this collection may be viewed in its entirety online. Shipping charges apply - weight 6.2 lbs.

Germany, "Fun with Inflation" Part III Mostly Mint Collection, 1921-23, This installment of the inflationary stamps of Germany begins innocently enough with the 1921 issue and denominations from 5 pfennig to 20 marks. However, things would very quickly spiral out of control, and before you could even say "Fahrvergnügen", denominations were already in the thousands. This collection in two binders consisting of mostly mint never hinged presents these stamps as singles, strips and blocks of various sizes. Many with HAN numbers, crazy misperfs, imperf singles & pairs of #187 and others, plate varieties, such as MiNr. 241 I, 258 IX, and 213 I with certificate. We have numerous gutter pairs, coil end strips, encased postage stamps, various color shades, some dramatically higher in catalogue value, such as a never-hinged copy of 169a with certificate, and some other unusual items, like a pair of 203 with blank field (signed Peschl).
