Canada #4/611.
Minkus pages with a great exploration of the first 100+ years of Canadian stamp issuance. Includes a 3p beaver with three nice margins, some "Cents", a few Large and Small Queens, Jubilees from the 1/2c to 50c (mostly mint), with some mint and used Victorian, Edward VII and Quebec issues. After the Admiral set, most sets are fairly complete, with the lower denominations often being mint, such as the KGV Scroll, Arch, issues. There are multiple mint dollars such as the Destroyer, Champlain, Ferry, Fishing. No "back of the book", but there is a bit of duplication where the collector has hinged extra stamps in, underneath. There are a few nice cancels noted. The biggest challenge for this collection is the condition, which is diverse. Much of the earlier is faulty, the mint heavily hinged, but this is mixed in with a number of really nice clean singles here and there. The catalogue is enormous, but we have decided to give this an estimated value. Estimate =
