*Collecting Window c1851-1947 (best period
to
collect)
Lots of
wonderful stamps to collect from this vast area, many
rare items including the 1897 Jubilee set up to 5
Dollars, very hard to find in good mint condition and
most of the used high values have very heavy
cancellations.
Good
country to collect and also invest in, try not to
pay more than 50% of
catalogue.

are avidly collected with prices rising
steadily.
