Valuable Mint Collection in a Lindner Hingeless Album, 1852 to 1952, starts with a 4 margin #4, #7 (rebacked proof, not counted), 6 different Cents issues, 10 different Large Queens, 15 different Small Queens, complete Jubilees, and complete for regular issues from #27 to 320, including coil singles. Also included is strong back of the book, with complete air mails, complete overprinted officials (G and OHMS), complete registration, complete dues (to 1965), and complete special delivery, plus 6 different War Tax. A lovely collection which includes many never hinged stamps (even the more expensive items, but the catalogue value of $44,549 is for all hinged only, so actual will be much higher). The overall quality is very nice, with the odd regummed early issues, and there is oxidization on a few orange or red stamps due to the album used, still overall fresh and fine to very fine, with many of the latter. See the many scans online for an idea, or inspect in person to better appreciate. Rsv. $5,400. (Image)
