Outstanding Specialized Collection Balance, 1848-1935, Mainly mint collection of regulars and commemoratives on Scott National pages to 1935. Starts with plate proofs of 9X1 and LO1-2 and builds from there. Highlights are almost too numerous to mention, though we will mention nearly complete mint/unused Banknote issues, 1869s, and Columbians less only the 5¢ and $4, with $500-$1000 & up stamps throughout, as well as plate number strips, proofs and specimens—the catalog value is huge. Unfortunately, the condition is quite mixed and there are many problem coils, but there is also plenty of F-VF and unusual material here. A valuable lot, a careful inspection of which will prove very worthwhile.
