Est $ 200

Balance of the Mint Canada Collection, 1897 to 1951, quite complete in period, including Jubilees to the $1 (the 50c is used), and virtually complete thereafter, with extra shades and printings, some multiples, all coils (in singles or pairs), etc. Also includes back of the book, with airmails, special delivery, postage dues, officials and officially sealed stamps (OX1 and OX2 are used). Condition is generally fine or better. We noted some never hinged material, but also some unused (no gum or regummed) stamps, so we counted all as hinged. Also includes a number of duplicates in stock cards (these not counted). All pages of this valuable collection are scanned online. (Image)
