On Aug. 19, part two of the Glen Lundeen Collection of Canada’s Admiral issue will go live.

“Many of these have not surfaced at auction since the 1980s,” says Yohann Tanguay, Eastern’s chief describer. “The second instalment features 157 lots, from proofs, stamps and postal history from the three-pence beaver to the last issued decimal, the two-cent stamp.”
In this sale, Tanguay says, “the spotlight will be shining on the six-pence and 10-pence Prince Albert, namely Scott/Unitrade (catalogue) numbers two, five, 10, 13, 16 and 17 including their varieties, printings, proofs, stamps, and postal history.”
Tanguay says of the 157 lots, “we’ve counted over 30 lots valued into the five figures, four of which reaching the mark of $100,000 or more.”
Tanguag adds that the Brigham and Lundeen sales greatly appeal to collectors of all levels and budgets.
