J1-J12

Specialized Collection of Mint and Used K.U.T. Postage Dues, consisting of many hundreds of singles, with a few blocks, all in a stockbook. The mint includes Scott #s: J1 (x30), J2 (x32), J3 (x33), J4 (x31), J5 (39), J6 (x17)., J7 (x54), J8 (x148), J9 (x128), J10 (x130), J11 (x46), J12 (x40), along with 395 used stamps including J4 (x14), J5 (x17), J6 (x10). We note a few of the mint have plate number tabs, and a few used included on piece. Larger mint blocks and multiples occur with the second issue. A spot check of stamps reveal mint hinged in the first issue (along with some brownish gum), with a mixture of hinged and never hinged with the second issue (closer inspection could reveal more never hinged stamps throughout). The lot also includes J1-J5 with Specimen perfin (with faults, and not counted towards catalogue value). A specialized collection that could benefit with further study, as we did not check for varieties, shades, etc. Online scans gives a representation of the lot. Overall, fine to very fine.
