83 Canada #1693ii. VF MNH pane of 4 of the $5.00 Moose "Extra Moose" variety consisting of a strong offset of the brown Moose, showing a clear impression facing left on the gummed side instead of facing right as on the front.

165 Italy - Aegean Islands Group. Useful and varied selection of 235 lightly duplicated (usually for mint and used) 1912-1934 period issues on five Hagner stocksheets. The lot consists of overprinted and specialized stamps for use in these Mediterranean islands after they had been occupied by Italy. Mainly mint hinged, with some used also noted. The General Issue, laid out on one page, includes two of the Soccer issues of 1934 which are used but because the cancels are indistinct and light it may be that they were cancelled by favour. As such they have been conservatively valued as mint (we are not sufficiently expert in the issue to certify that they are postally used). If they are subsequently expertized and determined to be used the catalogue value of the lot increases by US$465.00! All the different islands are represented. Owner's accurate 2017 Scott US$2,312.80= $2,891.00 $425.00

While Scott prices other lower values of this series in mint or (postally) used condition, it does not price #AR17, #AR19 or #AR30 in either mint or used condition. While these four stamps are fiscally used, in reality there is no other way to fill those spaces in your album. Estimate $120.00 $55.00
