What glitters isn’t always gold. This collection of collections of stamps, first day covers and "gold" stamps were effectively designed to separate non-collectors from their cash and were all over the place in the late 1970s to the early 1990s. While most collectors steered clear of these promotions, they have gained more acceptance for collectors who want all known cachets for their first day cover collection, or for collectors who can use the stamps at a fraction of their original cost. This battered U-Haul box contains several volumes, including the American Revolution (75 FDCs - Franklin Society), Commonwealth Day 1983 (British Commonwealth stamps), 1977 Queen’s Jubilee and 1978 Coronation Jubilee (stamps, souvenir sheets, White Ace), 1977 Queen’s Jubilee (60 FDC Westminster Society). Gold foil King Tut (only 3), Achievements in Space (Middle Eastern countries x11), Great Firsts in Aviation (Dominica x30), and the cachets for the Story of Canada (13x FDCs). The original cost would have likely approached $1000.00. Estimate =
