Collection: Current Weekly Auction - Closing Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at 11:30 pm Atlantic Time
Welcome to our weekly unreserved auction! This week we offer the remainder of the post-1970 MNH material from the "N-P" countries, including the remainder of New Zealand & Norway, and then Pitcairn Islands, Oman, Niger, Nigeria, Niue, Niuafo'ou and Norfolk Island.
We have three specialized themes. First, we have a smaller group of higher value British Commonwealth to 1960, and then we continue an ongoing United States theme, with the 1922-1936 Fourth Bureau Issues, Including the Kansas & Nebraska Overprints From 1929. You will see that for the Rotary press printings, we have gone into details of the different types of gum breaker patterns and ridges on the gum itself - something that Scott ignores, but plenty of US dealers do pay attention to.
For Canada, we have our usual range of Canada from 1859 to the 1960's, and then a super-specialized offering of the 2c Wilding issue, with the many shades of green identified, as well as paper and gum types for both the so-called initial horizontal ribbed paper printings up to 1958-1959, and then the vertical ribbed paper printings made between 1959 and early 1963.
There are 543 lots this week. You will see that the Wilding Issue lots in many instances have been kept manageably small in order to emphasize the specific paper types and shade varieties. There are no lots 280-300 this week, as Will fell sick yesterday with COVID.
If you are new to the auction, please visit our FAQ page for a description of all the relevant terms and conditions. Please also note that all Canadian residents will be charged appropriate sales taxes based on where they reside.
