Canada, Impressive and Powerful Collection Heavy in High-End Mint, 1852-1996, housed in seven binders on Scott hingeless pages and Vario black sheets is one of the finest Canadian Country collections that we have had the pleasure to offer. From the initial pages in volume 1 you see the many different shades and printings of the Small and Large Queens clearly described on each page with value into the hundreds of dollars each and some even over $1,000. This is not your ordinary collection as you will also find duplicates quite often of better items throughout in addition to varieties. For instance the Jubilee issue has numerous duplicates in the values up to the 50¢ and even the full set of dollar values has extra $1.00, $4.00, and $5,00 values and the Jubilee section alone is in excess of $15,000. catalogue value. This is followed by duplicated sections of Maple Leafs and the Numeral issues, King Edward VII sets to the 50¢, Quebec is here and the Admiral issue is present with many extras through the $1.00 value. The coils from 1913-1940 period are here in profusion with many scarce types and a fair amount of n.h. as well. We note there are often singles, pairs, strips and paste-up pairs of many $100. And up coils, later. The modern issues also contain all of the better more recent items. We also note occasional plateblocks and a few early n.h. blocks. All of the better sets are present from the 1930's and up with some duplicates. Also there is an album of Postal Stationery. A nice section of all of the better Postage Due issues is included. If possible please view this outstanding collection to fully appreciate it. Condition on the early issues is a bit mixed with a few faults and no gum, however there are also some exceptional stamps there as well. Overall the collection is 99% mint and the later issues after 1910 are mainly Fine to Very Fine o.g. or n.h. with very few faults. The resale value is enormous, as is the total in Scott., ex Global Collection. Estimate $10,000 - 15,000.
