Lot 2245 /o
United States Collection, 1847-1970, extensive "Old School" collection that is nearly complete except for extreme rarities; but also includes some great rarities with certificates like the 3¢ Orangeburg coil (#389) with 1992 P.F. certificate, attractive Fine+ with small corner crease; all of the good stuff is here with a Scott catalog of $367,827 and 55 mostly P.F. certificates; most everything that needs a cert has a cert but the exceptional thing about this collection is the condition which is far above normal, if a stamp has flaws, it is still very nice looking; there are of course some real gems here, too (the collection was put together before grading), gems include mint #64b, #523 and #E4 beauties, seldom, if ever, is such a wonderful collection offered intact, but this is a true "Estate" - extensive and spectacular.Estimate $60,000 - 80,000.
