SWITZERLAND – SOLID CLASSICS & $1,650 IN MODERN POSTAGE!! – 423170

SWITZERLAND – SOLID CLASSICS & $1,650 IN MODERN POSTAGE!! –  Very impressive collection of close to two thousand different mint and used issues tracing Swiss postal stamps from the earliest Helvetia images and then into very recent years, as the collection spills well into the teen years of the 21^st century presented in a pair of pristine Scott Specialty albums! The collection includes a well populated classic section boasting such premium standouts like mint #35, used #8, 12, 14, 16, 19, 20-23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 40-50, 59, 89, 92, 93, 96, and then a comprehensively populated 20^th century all the way up to 2016/17 complete with numerous miniature sheets and complete booklets! Considering the high standard of living in Switzerland and universally ever-rising postal rates, even straightforward postal face of mint material in the modern portion (from mid-1970s) quickly adds up to 1,500 francs ($1,650)! Beautiful and well-rounded collection! Gen. VERY FINE, mint og, many NH (We photographed both, regular and back-of-the-book, sections up to midcentury mark with glimpses of modern stamps showing where the collection ends)
