Australia - Northwest Pacific Islands
|
# 3/46
|
Before it became Nauru and its natural riches were understood, this island group became an interesting philatelic sideline as an Australian administered territory. The overprints on the Roo and KGV Heads issues were both exotic, but also included different challenges for collectors. This holding includes examples of both major overprint types with a variety of watermarks and some nice cancels. A few of the lower value "Heads" are mint, the balance used. Some minor duplication and expect the occasional fault. 2023 Scott US$360.50 =
