BELGIUM – STRONG CLASSICS – 426699

BELGIUM – STRONG CLASSICS – While most associate Belgium with chocolate and futile attempts to stay neutral in World Wars, the country boasts the highest number of castles and manors per square miles, and that rich heritage comes across through Belgian stamps very nicely! Hence, Belgian keystone position in European philately!

This is a very attractive mint and used collection of close to a thousand different issues presented in a Minkus album. The collection includes a very strong opening section as early pages are virtually complete, boasting such premium sets and singles like mint #172-184, Q15, used #1-2, 2, 3, 4, 6-8, 7a, 9-12, 13-16, 18-22, 28-36, 60-75, Q1-Q6, Q7-Q15, among them and more! The collection runs in a comprehensively populated manner to the mid-century mark, and then the second half of the 20^th century features a varying level of completeness. Great resource for those seeking to strengthen the classic section of their Belgian portfolio! Gen. VERY FINE, mint og (We photographed opening portion to mid-century)
