Many Years To Accumulate Scott #300-315

No 314A, 316, 317, or 318, but I am happy that I got these.

Happy New Year to all.

Very nice! Lovely stamps. Congratulations!

I had chosen this as my set to collect (limited issues, ornate) but never made it.

Beautiful set
I like your attention to the light cancels and great centering especially on the higher value 1$-5$
I have similar style.
Congratulations

Wow nice set! I can't imagine how much time and patience involved to find such light cancels. Did you get most of these online or going through dealer stocks at shows?

Great assemblage!

Beautiful set you have there. I really like the 304.

Adding my appreciation to a beautiful collection...thanks for posting those wonderful pictures!

That 313 is beautifully centered!!

Here is a wonderful website on these attractive stamps:

Nice set, photo61guy! I love the designs on that series.

Although I have never been a fan of the riotous Second Bureau design framework, I have to say, "Very nicely done!"

I'm glad you showed this to us.
Yours is much more interesting and attractive than many mint assemblages of the second bureau.

Some of the lesser value stamps came from my grandfather's collection which I have inherited. Also some dealer stock at shows. The higher values I obtained late 80's and early 90's. Simmy's, Lippert, Schiff? auction houses were used. There was a Samuel Shaskan from Stamford Conn. also. the $2 and $5 were from him.
The imperf pairs are the most recent acquisitions.
Just A LOT of looking.

photo61guy,
Very nice!
You show the sheet and imperforate versions, and note the absence of the coils.
What is your thinking on the booklets?
