image Extensive and Valuable Mint Collection on Harris Specialized Pages, 1859 to 1989, with all stamps in clear mounts and starts off with a #20, 22, 23, 24, 28, 20 (2 shades), good selection of Small Queens including two 10c values, one with certificate, complete Leafs and Numerals (with shades), complete Edwards and Québecs (including several NH), complete Admirals including coils, some shades, a #114 with 2018 Greene certificate and a #130a pair with 2011 RPSL certificate, basically complete after that to the end, including coil singles (saw some pairs), souvenir sheets, etc. Starting in the 1960s we see many varieties, with lots of tagging, papers, perforation changes, starting in 1977 there are many plate blocks, notably of definitives, including mammals (saw some better matched sets - see scans) and values up to the $5, many booklets and booklet panes appear in the 1980s, noted extra material such as an unused Turtles wrapper, a UNESCO Hoodoos error booklet of six (BK623) and souvenir sheet of 5 (#2844), a 2014 booklet of the $1.20 Mountain Goat with no printing on back (BK575 var, first we have seen), and more. A very nice and valuable collection, with many more printing varieties than is normally seen, including higher catalogue ones. Early material is a mix of hinged and never hinged, but we often noted NH high denominations, and all the never hinged counted as such has been clearly identified on the pages. Quality is overall very nice and clean, the catalogue value is for up to 1951 only, and certainly contains over $300 in face value after that, not including all the uncounted varieties. See our many scans online to get a glimpse into this collection. (Image)

image Mint and Used Collection in a Lindner Album, 1870s to 1973, with most issues in period shown with both mint (in the clear strips) and used (on the page underneath. Starts off with many Small Queens, with shades, to the 50c, then Jubilees to the $4 with light duplication (for example there are three shades of the 50c mint), and so on to the end, with many extras, such as shades and some duplication (often of higher values such as 8 mint copies of the 7c Edward, 7 mint copies of the 10c Edward, just to name two of many more), many mint coils (singles, pairs and/or strips), some mint blocks (including tagged and untagged 1970 Christmas centre blocks $480), and decent back of the book (including good dues, G and OHMS overprints, etc). Although many of the older stamps (usually higher values) have faults (usually gum-related, and noted in pencil on the pages), there are still many nice and valuable stamps included and catalogue value should be quite high. Inspect to better appreciate the value included here. (Image)
