Aegean Islands (Coo, Lisso, Nisiro) #1/11. Stamps from the first overprinted issues of Italy helping mark the occupation of these islands after the Tripoli War with Turkey in 1912. Each of the sets from the individual islands is missing the key unwatermarked 20c value. The stamps are fresh, mint, and most have hinge remnants and gum cracking (as often found). The sets from Coo "Cos", Lisso "Lipso", Nisiro are represented each with Scott #1/11, missing #10 (with "Cos" also missing #5, and rounded corner on #1, for the record). Lisso also has 4 denominations from the Ferrucci issue of 1930. 2023 Scott US$551.55 =
