112/547, E1/JQ4

#112/547, E1/JQ4, Valuable mint lot of over 130 different stamps neatly arranged in a safety deposit box type stockbook, these were nearly all full original gum stamps, but were subjected in a slightly humid climate, resulting in some gum disturbance or loss of varying degrees, with some stamps clearly affected by disturbance, while others show little or no evidence of gum disturbing, in fact many would probably receive a simple "previously hinged" opinion if submitted for expertizing, and few of the 20th century stamps may even qualify as never hinged, much of the value in the 19th century, with four 1869 Pictorials including a 10c, the Bank Note issues are quite strong, with many high cataloging stamps, including an attractive example of the rare 30c National Printing, better commemoratives include $1.00, $4.00 and $5.00 Columbians, as well as the $1.00 and $2.00 Trans-Mississippis, Bureau issues to $2.00, better Washington-Franklins, with numerous 50c and Dollar high values, back-of-the-book includes an especially impressive showing of postage due stamps, except for the above mentioned gum problems, the stamps are generally fine-very fine with many highly saleable stamps throughout; even using the most conservative method of cataloging, the total catalog value will be well in excess of $70,000.00.
