| 3544 | Venezuela, "Gloria al Bravo Pueblo!" Awe-inspiring Mostly Mint Holding, 1859-2000, Five stockbooks of various sizes along with five binders of Vario stocksheets; extremely comprehensive coverage of both the fine and course impressions of the first Coat of Arms series with multiple four-margin copies in both mint & used condition, and this holding continues to flex its muscles throughout the 19th century, from the 1865 Coat of Arms issue with numerous inverted overprints to the various Simón Bolivar series and beyond with many in blocks and numerous stamps with accompanying certificates. Moving into the modern era, the excitement doesn't end there; not only is the stock far superior to what we have seen in recent memory, but you will also find a lot of unlisted material, such as abundant imperfs or pairs imperforate between, shifted or inverted overprints, coil strips with control number, and an entire binder of back-of-the-book which includes not only extensive airmails, but also officials, postal fiscals and an incredible selection of locals, and all this with the vast majority never hinged and arranged in Scott catalogue order. A truly great lot in every respect, and you can view a good chunk of it with three binders viewable in their entirety online via scans and video flips, overall Fine to Very Fine, ex Sunset Island.

And, among the 3rd printing, are 12 of the rare 5c (only 2,500 printed), 10 pen-canceled and two handstamped. Additionally, at the back of book nine, is a selection of about 90 different mint "GN" Official perfins. All-in-all, a wonderful lot for a specialist., ex Sunset Island.

| 3549 | Yugoslavia, Flabbergasting Specialized Holding of SHS Overprints, 1918-19, An absolutely mind-blowing collection and accumulation of Croatia-Slavonia (Scott #2L1-27, etc.), which focuses on the SHS overprints on the stamps of Hungary.
