1911-25 1c to $1 Admiral Valuable Mint Collection, neatly mounted in black mounts on 5 pages. An extensive collection of 111 mostly different stamps, with shades (including many better), hairlines, papers, wet and dry printings, redrawn spandrels, different Dies, etc. A mostly fresh collection with very nice stamps, including many very fine centered and some with sheet selvedge (usually to better show strong hairlines). Care and attention was taken to obtain the best stamp to illustrate the various Unitrade listings. Most stamps are annotated as per Unitrade number, shade designation, Die, date of issue, etc. We counted 41 never hinged stamps, and owner catalogue value is just over $20,000. A lovely and clean collection. (Image)
