image Mint and Used Collection, From 1859 to 2012, housed in a 4 hingeless Unity albums. The earlier stamps are mostly used, such as the First Cents issue (#14, 15, 17x 2), LQs (3c, 6c, 12½c, 15c x 2), SQs including the higher values (20c and 50c), then a mixture of mint and used and mostly complete sets from the Leaf issue onwards. We noted that stamps are generally mint from 1947 to the end with gradual presence of mint never hinged as we progress through the modern issues. The catalogue value up to 1951 (#302) is $4,600 (stamps with obvious faults not included). We conservatively counted the face value not including denominations lower than 17c, and came up with a total of $1,066. We noted a good selection of high value definitives (up to $10), P stamps, and souvenir sheets. Clean lot, overall very fine. See scans for a glimpse of the content. (Image)

The collection appears well advanced, missing only a handful of stamps including the back of the book, and the later issues. Also included are over 40 thematic collections from the 1980s to early 2000s. Usual condition. (Image)

The collection features specially prepared pages with in-depth description for each issue, accompanied by many color photocopies (see scan for an example). We noted some tagging and perforation varieties, as well as some better such as #226 (50c Victoria Parliament) and 227 ($1 Champlain Statue) in mint never hinged singles, #271 matched set of mint plate blocks (20c, Pl 2, Peace Issue), 272 LL mint plate block (50c, Pl 1 Peace Issue), and more. The face value was carefully counted by the owner and adds up to $1,865. During our cursory look, we detected a faint odor of tobacco. Great collection to build on. (Image)
