Large Numeral Postage Due Covers: Special Collections
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1103 c ImageLarge Numeral Postage Due Issue Covers of Foreign Origin. 89 covers incl. a few postal stationery items, all originating in foreign countries and bearing various U.S. Large Numeral Postage Due stamps up to the 10c value, a very diverse array of origins and frankings grouped by geographic location including British North America, Danish West Indies, Latin America, Jamaica, Great Britain, France, Monaco, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Northern Europe and Scandinavia, Austria, Hungary, Germany, Russia and Turkey (please note there are no China or Japan covers), the Due frankings reflect the various changing regulations for assessing postage due on international mail, some sent unpaid, but many with foreign postage underpaying rates, colorful and rare frankings abound, condition generally excellent

AN OUTSTANDING GROUP OF INTERNATIONAL MAIL POSTAGE DUE COVERS WITH THE UNITED STATES LARGE NUMERAL ISSUE -- THE "BANK NOTES" OF THE POSTAGE DUE ISSUES -- PRESENTING A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO LAUNCH AN EXHIBIT-WORTHY COLLECTION. PROBABLY THE LARGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT OFFERING OF ITS KIND SINCE THE ARFKEN SALE NEARLY 20 YEARS AGO.

These covers were acquired one at a time over two decades with a total cost of $14,798 (the owner's cost is noted on each cover, but many were acquired more than 10 years ago). We feel our estimate is conservative and does not factor in the enormous labor and transaction costs that would be necessary to build such a collection up from scratch. This lot is worth careful examination and an aggressive bid. (Image)
