British Commonwealth Mint and Used Collection and Accumulation in 15 Stockbooks, arranged alphabetically by country and by catalogue number order, from the Victorian era to about 1985. This mostly mint collection covers Aden to Zululand in varying degrees but no Canada, Australia, India or New Zealand. Duplication is usually quite low with very few items in more than five copies. We estimate half of the value would be in older items from the reigns of Victoria and the Kings and half in the reign of Elizabeth for which items are far more numerous and multiple copies more frequent. We noted Bahamas Scott #56 (cv $250), Bahrain Scott #31-4 (cv $132), Bangladesh group of 20 Pakistan stamps with transition “Bangladesh” handstamp overprints, Barbados and other Caribbean countries with many MNH sets to $10, Cayman Islands Scott #44e (cv $150), Ceylon first and second issues and so on. Our many scans only cover a very small sample of the large and valuable offering. Very fine. (Image)
