1859, a mint and used collection of approximately 50 stamps, arranged by denomination from the ½ b. to 20 b., almost all singles though including a small number of multiples and one bisect, better than usual quality, with a good range of shares, and most being four-margin examples, the odd imperfection or questionable item, though note several stamps signed by well-known experts, one page of forgeries/reprints included for reference and not counted in the total, overall fine or better.
