Specialized Collection of Mint and Used Bahamas, 1860s-2018, with a few thousand stamps primarily in hingeless mounts, in roughly 125 album pages housed in two binders. We estimate roughly 90% completeness, in period, for basic issues from 1863 to 1930, and virtually complete from the 1930s up to 2018. The collection begins with used classics from the 1860s to 1880s, including 1p (x19, 4 mint no gum), 4p (x11), 6p (x6), 1sh (x10, 2 m.h.), with a spot check noting the majority having watermark 1 and 2 papers. The collection continues with mint singles, sets, and partial sets, noting the collector added selections of used stamps, varieties, shades, and more, ranging from the 1890s to the 1930s, including Scott #s 27-31 (m.h., c.v. $226 total, including 9 different shades), 33-36 (m.h., $111 total), 70-80, 83 (m.h., $113 total, noting a ½p and 5sh with SPECIMEN overprint), 85-91 (m.h., $115 total), 100-113 (m.h., $126 total), along with sets and partial sets cataloguing from $20 to $60 and up. The collection post-1970 consists of mint never hinged issues, with the collector adding, souvenir sheets, sheetlets, booklet stamps, in hingeless mounts and selections of modern used hinged onto album pages. A nice collection, with only a few basic numbers missing. Online photos show a sampling. A few small faults with a few of the early stamps, including a few regummed mint stamps. Overall fine to very fine. (Image)
