FA: Belgian Congo Booklet Panes & Guyana Overprints
No, not in the same lot. Two unusual groups of items: Belgian Congo 61a-63a http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190043616377 These booklet panes of 10 are MNH and have no toning or tropical gum typical of Belgian Congo mint stamps. Much scarcer than the Scott CV would have you believe. Guyana 1981 Royal Wedding overprint group http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=190043711156 In 1981 (and for several years thereafter) Guyana went completely wild overprinting older stamps to keep up with hyperinflation. I think the Guyanese Dollar went from 0.37 to 0.005 (i.e. from 3 to a US$ to about 200). They re-used many older issues including their (already overprinted on a 1971 issue) Royal Wedding stamps. Since they are a former British colony, these stamps are called for in the Stanley Gibbons album for the Charles/Diana Royal Wedding collection. Many are scarce and Scott lists but doesn’t value a number of them. Others (the $4.40 on 0.60 on 0.03 with no 1982 overprint) catalogue for up to $75. Here is a nice run of them, all MNH and properly identified. -- |
