United states – premium mint collection 1847-2000 in 4 kabe albums – 423217stock number: 423217
United states – premium mint collection 1847-2000 in 4 kabe albums – this is a an absolutely wondrous all mint collection that starts at the dawn of philately in the middle of the 19th century and runs through a century and a half long period into early 2000s presented in an appropriately beautiful set of four hingeless ka-be albums! The collection was put together by a dedicated collector with stringent quality standards, even when it comes to stamps from the middle of the 19th century! The collection is packed with premium standouts, but perhaps the most impressive aspect is how this collection flows through impressively populated pages, especially once it gets in the 1870s: very impressive grills, columbians to $5, regular issues of 1895 to $5 (both sets unwatermarked and watermarked!!), regular issues of 1902-03 to $5 – most key sets run all the way to $5! Individually, just looking at the very early portion of the collection, one will come across such notable standouts like #1 (no gum), 12 (no gum), 17, 18 (no gum), 20 (no gum), 22 (pf cert), 24 (psag cert), 25, 29, 30a (brown and dark brown), 32 (no gum), 35 (pf cert), 36, 37 (no gum), 38 (no gum), 63, 63b, 64b (weiss cert), 68 (no gum), 69 (no gum), 78 (no gum), 71 (no gum), 72 (no gum), 73, 75, 76 (no gum), 77, 78b, 86 (no gum), 87 (repaired), 88 (no gum), 89 (no gum), 90 (partial gum), 92, 96 (no gum), 97 (no gum), 98 (no gum), 112 (no gum), 113 (no gum), 114, 115, 116, 117 (no gum), 119 (no gum), 120 (pse cert), 133, 135 (no gum), 136, 137, 138, 139, 145-155 (150, 152, 154 og)156-166 (160, 163, 165, 166 no gum), 178-179, 182-191 (187, 188, 189, 190 no gum), 205, 206-209, 210-211, 212-214, 215-218, 219-229, 230-245 (241, 242, 244 no gum), 246-263, 264-278 (276a, 277 nh), 279-284, 285-293 (292 no gum), 294-299, 300-313, among others and so much more, as early 20th century runs through exceptional coils, and, somewhat obligatory in this instance, never hinged set of zeppelins! While just the list of philatelic unicorns is mighty impressive, this collection needs to be seen to be properly appreciated, as the quality all throughout is mind boggling, since numerous spots that are extraordinarily hard to fill feature a beautiful example with bright colors wide margins, and then the next one, and next one…and one more! It has been a long while since we had such a beautiful usps collection! Gen. Very fine, most og, many nh (we photographed only the first volume, as the remaining 3 albums covers virtually complete run through 1900s)
Estimated Net Value: $250,000.00 – $300,000
