Lot 295 Rhodesia (C) 1898-1908 Waterlow Arms Issue - A Group of SON CDS Town Cancels

Includes SG #'s #75a, 77, 79, 83, 83a, 84. 

Cancellations include: October 23, 1904 Jumbo Mine; June 26, 1902 Gwelo, Matabelleland; July 15, 1901 Victoria; December 15, 1905 Umtali; March 8, 1903 Lunquist; August 20, 1910 Abercorn; December 19, 1901 Registered Bulawayo and October 24, 1902 Melsetter. 

Jumbo mine is a particularly scarce cancel and my online research indicates that clear strikes typically sell for $50-$75. Abercorn is also scarce and sells for at least $5 on an issue of this vintage. 

Gibbons lists the basic stamps at 26.75 GBP. Based on this, the condition and the above information about the scarcer cancels, we would estimate the value of the lot at $75.  The stamps offered here grade between 65 and 80 as follows:
