Great Britain and British Commonwealth substantial mint collection in two volumes, the Great Britain is a significant portion of the value but there are selected British countries from around the world that also have very good value, Great Britain starts with a mint #3 and includes a number of better unused and mint surface printed issues, we note #27-28, 37, a rare #40, plus #55, 62 (pl. 17), 66, 85 (2x) and #87 (pl. 13), also later shilling and pound values which include some of the very few used in the collection, there are better mint Victoria, Edward VII and George V sets with a mint £1 P.U.C., Great Britain also includes many later sets, singles and souvenir sheets, other Commonwealth countries include British Europe with some better Cyprus, Malta and Ireland, Australian area is rich with some states including better high values and attractive early semi-postals as New South Wales #B2 n.h., Australia proper contains a nice selection of early George V and Kangaroo issues to the 10/- plus many later better sets and singles, New Zealand also has excellent value with a smattering of 19th century and better sets as the 1898 Series cplt., other countries of note include South Africa with early sets to the £1 and various bilingual issues to the 20/-, there is a little Caribbean with better sets and high denominations of Bahamas and Jamaica, plus Bermuda, condition is mixed in the early 19th century but for the most part this collection contains a lot of very clean collectable material with o.g., some 20th century issues from the 1930´s are never hinged with more modern largely so, the vast majority are fine-very fine; a very worthwhile collection that warrants careful examination.
