British Guiana, Extraordinary Advanced Mint Collection, 1860-1976, certainly, one of the finest collections of British Guiana that we have had the pleasure to offer. A comprehensive collection loaded with scarce and rare stamps valued into the many hundreds of dollars each, carefully mounted on black Hagner sheets and annotated with older Stanley Gibbons prices which are today often 50% higher. This is truly an exceptional lot in a quality rarely seen with the better stamps all still present, 99% unused with many difficult to find issues contains an excellent range of perforated Seal of Colony issues, also scarce overprints, Officials, 1888-1891 surcharges, Pictorials, George V and George VI definitives, QEII sets, varieties including inverted and double overprints. Assembled one stamp at a time. The overall quality is exceptional with only a few faults, most are Fine to Very Fine. A pleasure to view. High catalogue value., ex Global Collection. Estimate $7,500 - 10,000.
