Default 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.
