Tonga and Niuafo'ou
|
# 1177/1179 and 275/286
|
A wholesale lot of mint never hinged issues from 2012. Tonga has four souvenir sheets (2 each of the Reconstruction and Development issue (with Rotary and Scout imagery) plus the 2 stamp Titanic centenary issue. The Niuafo’ou (often known as "Tin Can Island") issue is the "Butterfly" issue of a dozen denominations, with 10 copies of each - in a block of 4 and a block of 6. The edges indicate the primitive nature of these printings. Expect some minor bends and uneven/hand cutting of the selvedge. These modern issues are often overlooked by collectors due to their enormous face value (this batch would have set you back around C$300.00 at time of issue). 2023 Scott US$611.00 =
