1/751, C1/JQ5

#1/751, C1/JQ5, The high cataloging balance of a major United States collection, well over 1,000 different stamps, the large majority of which are used, 1847-1935, neatly housed in two expensive Elbe President's albums (with matching slipcases), assembled by a collector whose main focus was completion rather than condition, so this collection is filled with many scarce to rare stamps, but they are often in very mixed quality, ranging from faulty copies to stamps with only minimal faults, and there are even some very nice sound and well centered examples scattered throughout, just a brief overview of the contents of the collection includes both the 5c and 10c 1847 issue, the 1851-56 issues includes the 5c, and all four 10c types, the 1857-60 issues are nearly complete with several rare 1c types and all four 10c types, 1861 and 1867 Grills quite strong, scattered 1869 Pictorials to the 30c (including a few re-issues), Bank Notes nearing completion, all commemoratives of the period are complete, including the 1893 Columbians and the 1898 Trans-Mississippis, both unwatermarked and watermarked Bureau issues are nearly complete, including both key $5.00 values, 1902-03 Regular issues complete to the $5.00 (less only one low denomination), Washington-Franklin issues well represented, and the regular issues conclude with several souvenir sheets, including two mint White Plains sheets, back-of-the-book issues are quite strong and represent perhaps the more interesting and valuable portion of the collection, with complete air posts (including 1930 Graf Zeppelins), special deliveries complete, strong postage dues, complete mint set of Offices in China, solid Officials both mint and used (some of these are quite nice), and the collection ends with a remarkably comprehensive run of very scarce newspaper stamps, again in very mixed quality, but filled with elusive stamps nonetheless; examination is essential on this collection to properly evaluate, but upon examination it will become clear that the total catalog value of this balance will be quite impressive, which we estimate to be in the $100,000.00 to $120,000.00 range.

279/921

#279/921, C1/QE4, Impressive mint 20th century collection balance to 1944 in a Scott album, includes the Trans-Mississippi set complete and all of the later commemoratives, an outstanding group of Washington-Franklin heads including many high values, coil and imperforate stamps generally present both in singles and pairs, back-of-the-book includes special delivery, Offices in China and parcel post sets all complete, plus the collection contains some elusive varieties not normally seen in a balance lot such as #631 horizontal and vertical gutter pairs without gum breaker ridges, #703b (PF certificate) and #C23 in the scarce ultramarine and carmine shade, an important feature of this collection is that the majority of stamps were purchased one-at-a-time on a retail or auction basis and therefore condition is well above the norm for a lot this size, almost all o.g. and many never hinged, a large number being very fine; 21 PF, one PSE and one Friedl certificates accompany.
