United States comprehensive collection, 1847-1978, mainly used 19th century and primarily mint 20th in two Scott Specialty albums. Starts with an attractive 4-margin #1 and includes nice looking examples of #14, 20, 30a, 118, 121, all the 90¢ Banknotes, a mint 50¢ Columbian, used #276A and 277, etc. The mint 20th century includes (all F-VF) #348 pair, 351, 354, 357-58, 578-79, 595, a nice White Plains sheet, a choice set of Kans.-Nebr. overprints, C1-6, and much more. There are also some nice postage dues and excellent officials. The second volume is cut squares and revenues and doesn't add a whole lot to the overall value. Much of the 19th century has small faults, but was selected for appearance…and there are plenty of sound stamps. the 20th century is generally F-VF with all the mint being hinged. This can be a terrific starter collection or it can provide lots of material for an intermediate collector.
