LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
1665   imageFrance, Outstanding Mint and Used Collection, 1849-1996, A marvelous collection, fairly complete for the period, in ten Lindner hingeless albums; the main, primarily mint collection is in six of the volumes and is loaded with better material, though the 19th century is somewhat mixed, condition-wise; highlights include Scott numbers (mint, o.g. unless noted) 9 (5 used), 10 (2 used), 18 (F-VF), 21 (used), 28 (short perf), 37 (used), 53, 55a (used with Calves certificate, repaired corner), 63 (most o.g.), 67, 69, 84 (NH), 89 (NH), 95 (NH), 99, 107, 119a (Millésime 1, €500), 126 (2, one with small thin), 175a (NH), 197 (NH), 226 (thins in margins, 246 (used, few short perfs), 254 (regummed), 254A (2, one NH), 326b (NH); Semi-Postals complete (B3-7 NH, B8-10 regummed), C1-2, C3-4 (mint & used forgeries), C15 (toned o.g.), and much more — basically complete from 1924 onward except for the Airs and some Postage Dues. There is even a nearly complete collection of Precancels (most earlies without gum), though the rare 30c green "Peace" (YT 69) is a forgery. The other four volumes contain a collection of used 20th century duplicates to 1963, and, while there are some nice stamps throughout, there is not a whole lot of value. As for condition, as stated previously, the 19th century is mixed but the 20th is virtually all F-VF, though up to the mid 1930s, there is a good bit of regumming of stamps that were thought to be NH; that being said, from the late 1930s onward virtually everything actually is NH! All-in-all, quite a remarkable collection. Shipping charges apply - weight 67 lbs.

Sure, great stamps and largely complete, but what really makes this a "thrilling" collection are the many extras the collector has added to make it stand out, like millésime pairs, gutter blocks and pairs, blocs coin date, interesting early covers, multiples with various cancels (numeral, CDS, railroad), stamps with attached advertising labels, even a few essays.
