1862-74 Issues largely complete on Scott 'National' pages with denominations to $200 x2 & numerous other better items throughout, condition variable but generally fine to very fine, Cat US$50,000+. Our vendor has acquired most of this material from American dealers including 'big names' so we expect that most of the identifications are correct. However, very few have been expertised and we are mindful of the fact that perforated stamps can be fraudulently altered to create imperf and 'part-imperf' stamps. Our estimate is therefore necessarily conservative. Scans of the entire collection are on our website for your personal inspection. The pencilled catalogue values are from Scott's 2019 edition and take into account the presence of 'cut-cancels'.  (260 approx) (Image1)
