U.S.A. Mostly ★. Excellent collection primarily mint, all 20th century through to the 1920s with an extensive range of Washington/Franklin heads. Beginning with 1902/03 $1 mint and $2 used, through to imperf pairs 1cts Franklin amd 3 cts Washington, Schermacks, through to Louisiana Purchase complete mint, Jamestown Expo, imperf. Yukon, Lincoln and Hudsons mint, followed by the first Washington heads 1908/9 with a superb set mint complete to $1 signed, #331 to #342, followed by the perf. 12 types to 10 cts mint, imperfs 1908/09, as well as an extensive range of coils, somewhat complicated. This section is well worth spending time on and will challenge even the specialist, more obvious Pan Pacific complete incl. both perfs and shades, e.g. #397 through to #404 (cat $1400), yet further regular defins, as well as plate blocks and a somewhat unusual Kansas City roulette block of 4, all mint with as far as we can see perf 8 ½ horiz and vert complete, as well as perf. 10 horiz comp incl. face/paste up pair, perf. 10 vert 1, 2 and 5 cts, the latter followed by Franklin heads with shades, virtually all mint, yet further coils this time 1914/16 incl. pairs with occasional certificates leading to the $2 and $5 Madison mint, yet further imperfs and coils with again few empty spaces, ending with Franklin $1 mint, again with shades, the single 5 cts error in block of 6 and finally the rectangular $2 and $5 Franklins mint (and yet more printing types). We know this collection will add up very quickly, an opportunity which after allowing sufficient time will reveal there is a great deal more to discover than this outline description.
