Lot 1242 Falkland Islands Collection of Mint, from 1892 to 2015. Early issues are mixed hinged and never hinged, becomes all never hinged (and mostly complete) after about 1980s and until the end (most were purchased through a New Issue service and are still in their plastic pouches). We catalogued only those that are identified in glassines, therefore up to #510 (1989) at $1,552. For all issues after that we calculated a total face value at roughly £390. (catalogue value would be much higher). Also includes Dependencies stamps (mostly complete, mix of hinged and NH, with duplication of sets) with a total catalogue of $864. A fresh lot, almost complete in period including many souvenir sheets, complete sets, also about 30 “airmail postcard or airmail letter” rates not counted. Estimate $400, sold for C$1,050 plus buyer’s premium.
