Lot 11249 – 1922-23 Thom 3-line: Specialised collection neatly

1922–23 Thom 3-Line Low Value Overprints – Specialised Collection

A superb and highly desirable specialised collection, expertly mounted on 43 “Eire” gold-leaf album pages and presented in an attractive green album.

Exceptionally strong in the key low values from ½d to 1s, this collection boasts an impressive range of mint and used singles, multiples, blocks of four, and control pieces, offering serious depth for the specialist. The real strength lies in the remarkable concentration of sought-after varieties, including: Missing accents, Accents inserted and inverted, Accent and final “t” inserted, Line over Saorstát, “S” over “E” varieties, Open “C” for “O” in Saorstát, Reversed “Q” for “O” on the 1d value (€450+ alone), “Eircann” variety, Shifted and offset overprints.

A powerful and wide-ranging holding packed with specialist material, offering tremendous scope for further expansion or detailed study. Collections of this calibre and variety are increasingly difficult to assemble, particularly with such a breadth of constant and transient varieties already present.

An exceptional opportunity for the serious collector or dealer – not to be overlooked. (Hundreds; Hibernian €5,400+)
