Iceland, "Stórfurðulegur" Mint & Used Collection, 1873-2010, In two hingeless Lighthouse albums, both in pristine condition, an extraordinary collection of Iceland strong in both the classics and nearly complete in the modern era up to the turn of the millennium. Collection tapers off after 2000 but pages continue until 2016 just waiting for the right person to expand upon. But let's talk more about these classics, and you can pull up the scans as I list the numbers. Some very difficult-to-obtain stamps are among the highlights: unused #1-3, 6, 85, 97-98, 152-60, 162-66, 213-16, 232-35, 245, 273, 275-77, 289-96, B5, C2, C4-8, C9-11, O3-4, O11-12, O53-67, and used 9, 12, 17-20, 28-29, 51, 55, 58-59, 68, 83-84, 91, 92-96, 99-103, 116-28, 130-38, 140, 141 (revenue cancel), 142, 143 (revenue cancel), 175, 186, 285, C19-20, O2, O7-9, O28-30, O40-49, O69. Condition does vary, but on the whole Fine to Very Fine. Shipping charges apply - weight 13.5 lbs. (PDF for this Lot) (Image)
