British Honduras

# B1-B5

Registered cover / OHMS envelope sent to Toronto with a complete set of the only semi-postal series issued by British Honduras. These overprinted stamps raised funds to provide relief for the city of Belize which was levelled by a hurricane. The stamps are hard enough to find used, with a Scott catalogue value of US$112.50. However, Stanley Gibbons catalogues them with a price of £ 110.00 with a premium of "at least 10x" for usage on cover, which would bring this to a nearly $1500.00 cover. A bit of natural acidity on the reverse, does not affect the appearance. Estimate =
