Collection: Current Weekly Auction - Closing Wednesday, December 10, 2025 at 11:30 pm Atlantic Time

 Welcome to our weekly unreserved auction! This week we offer material from three specialized areas, First, we have a large offering of 3c Small Queens primarily from the Second Ottawa period, that we have described with regard to paper types and shades, as listed in our paper table. We have added two or three more paper types to the table as a result. The stamps cover the period from 1891 to 1894 cancellation dates, and as a result I have been able to put dates to many paper types listed in the table. 

The second area consists of a reprise of the earlier Queen Victoria to King George V issues that we have received since we offered those themes. 

The third area consists of the first part of our Commonwealth King George VI theme, with Australia and New Zealand, and then the keyplate issues of the various countries. 

The fourth and final area this week is my own personal classics collection of superb worldwide stamps from 1840-1870. I cover the A, B & C countries this week. These are mostly all "One Of A Kind" stamps that were collected for their extraordinary quality. Many are XF or Superb, and go far above the grading standards in Scott. If you look carefully at the footnotes in Scott specialized, you will see notations about margin sizes and how many VF stamps do have perfs cutting slightly into the designs or at least touching the outer framelines. 

Lots marked with a "(C)" next to the lot number are on consignment. Accordingly a 15% buyer's premium will apply to those lots only. 

There are 372 lots this week.
