Iceland Mint Collection 1970-1993: Collection of mint, mostly NH in stamp mounts, on album pages (Scott pages, but the binding edge has been cut off). Relatively (70%?) complete for those years, plus a few semi-postals (#B1-4 is hinged). Virtually all are in complete sets. Quality is universally VF. Includes many better sets and souvenir sheets -- this is not a bunch of left-overs! Individual retail prices total over $325 [12/09]! Here is an opportunity to fill many spaces at a significant savings over individual retail prices! |

Iceland Mint Collection 1947-2005 in Hingeless Album (1873-2005): Handsome collection of only complete sets, with stamps starting in 1947, mixed hinged and never hinged to the early 1960s, but then never hinged through 2005. The 1940s-1950s issues are somewhat sparse, but then it is roughly 50% complete through 2005. Housed in an almost pristine 2-volume Kabe album with black 16-ring binders. The pages 1873-1999 are Kabe linen-hinged hingeless pages, then 2000-2005 are Lighthouse pages of the same type; they match so closely that I did not notice at first. (Lighthouse took over Kabe in about 2000; their website shows Kabe-style linen-hinged page supplements are currently available through 2008 -- the 2009 is not out yet. Thus you CAN get supplements from Lighthouse and continue this album.) The Kabe page style is even more deluxe than the standard Lighthouse page style -- this is a top quality album that can no longer be purchased! The original album price -- and the current new equivalents on the market -- was over $500! The stamp quality is universally VF and includes many better sets and souvenir sheets -- this is NOT a bunch of left-overs! Individual retail prices total over $1050 [4/2010]! Here is an great opportunity to start or continue your Iceland collection in an extremely nice album, with many spaces already filled, at a significant savings! The total value of the stamps and album are over $1550. |

Iceland NH "Plate" Blocks, 1964-82: Handsome collection of about 180 mint corner blocks in Hawid mounts, neatly arranged in two stockbooks. Scott number ranges of 360//566, B17-24, C30-1. All complete sets. About 180 different stamps represented. Because Iceland has very few pre-1982 issues with actual plate numbers, these blocks are the closest possibilities (serial numbered or a few unnumbered, as exists). This is a gorgeous lot, OG, NH and uniformly VF. Jay Smith retail is about $713 AS SINGLE STAMPS. These blocks normally fetch a premium over their value as singles. (Old #30022) |

Iceland Bridge-Style 1983-84 Postmark Cover Collection on Nordia S/S Covers: A total of 114 small-size covers each bearing either Scott #564 or #581, the 1982 and 1983 souvenir sheets issued in advance of the Nordia 1984 stamp show that was held in Iceland. Each cover bears a 1983 (mostly) or 1984 bridge-style village postmark. The covers are POSTALLY USED and sent to the U.S.; they are very clean and attractive. On the reverse, there are the small U.S. postal sorter machine marks to prove their passage through the mail. The postmarks are from nearly all-different villages; when there is "duplication", it is on a different souvenir sheet (and in a couple cases are different postmark types). Some/many of these villages no longer have post offices or postmarks; and the postmark styles have changed drastically since then anyway. Neatly mounted on Schaubek (available from Scott) blank pages and in a like-new Schaubek binder with slipcase. Some of these covers (or even just the canceled souvenir sheets on them) would sell for as much as $50 each just for the scarce postmark (and it is possible that there are a few even scarcer than that)! Furthermore, these two souvenir sheets themselves are extremely scarce with non-Reykjavik postmarks -- just try to find more than one or two! Simply as postally used, non-Reykjavik canceled souvenir sheets, these would fetch about $20 each for the most "common". Just as the postally used souvenir sheets this collection has a breakup value of about $2280. Considering the postmark values, the breakup value is closer to $3600-4000+! Obviously that would require considerable time (which I am short on) to prepare for sale, thus I offer this collection intact at a very, very attractive price. Payment terms can be arranged. A unique collection that would be impossible to duplicate. |

Icelandic Christmas Seal Collection 1913-1958 Mint. "View EXACT ACTUAL Image"){kind=small}  "View EXACT ACTUAL Image"){kind=small}  "View EXACT ACTUAL Image"){kind=small} |
Icelandic Christmas Seal Collection 1913-1958. The complete set of 45 seals (there was no 1917 issue), from the first issue, all Mint. The vast majority are VF -- it is obvious that this collector carefully selected the best quality. Very fresh and neatly presented on album pages; virtually all appear to have light (peelable) first hinges. I note that the 1914 and 1925 seals lack gum (and the price has been properly adjusted) -- at a modest cost I can upgrade them upon request. Usually such collections have "clunkers" in them, but this collection is very nice! Individual retail totals over $440! Icelandic seals are among the scarcest -- this is a great opportunity to get the complete early collection. [233294] Default shipping. |
