Cherrystone Auctions - The New Amsterdam Collection of United States Stamps - July 10, 2019
The New Amsterdam Collection began over sixty years ago, back in the old
(pre-internet) days. Our collector was on a mission to complete spaces in
his newly acquired Scott National Postage Album. Over the years, while
enjoying the philatelic journey and the resultant education, the quest
continued, the means changed and some of those difficult spaces,
especially Reprints, Reissues and Special Printings began to fill. When the
rare, early 20th Century Coils became available, the opportunity to acquire
them was not missed. Once the album achieved a fair degree of completion,
the collector moved on to Inverted Centers, picking up an outstanding 1869
unused 30c Pictorial, 1c, 2c and 4c Pan-Americans, and of course an
Inverted Jenny, every philatelist's dream. (more...)
