Extensive Mint Collection in Three Lighthouse Binders, 1952 to 2009, with slipcases, appears to be complete in period and includes some extra material such as perforation varieties, se-tenant and coil multiples, different printings, etc. These appear to be all never hinged, except for one early hinged stamp, found in a large sampling. Also includes a page of mostly high value mint hinged earlier issues from the 1920s to 1940s (these scanned online). Face value is probably over $900. Nice and fresh quality throughout. (Image)
