RUSSIA – EXPANSIVE COLLECTION IN TWO MINKUS ALBUMS 1858-1991 – This is one massive collection of some 5,000 different mint and used issues that traces postal issues from Imperial Russia and all the way to the collapse of Soviet Union presented in a pair of Mikus albums! The collection includes a solid early period section featuring such noteworthy standouts like: mint #5, 11, 66, used #7, 9, 10, 12, 17, 88-104, but the collection goes into higher gear from the 1930s as the pages are much more comprehensively populated showcasing such premium sets like mint #330-335, 336-341, 402-405, 659-665, 857-858, 970, 1094-1097, 1325 (hinged), C21, used #551-554, among numerous others! The collection is further enhanced by an inclusion of a separate section showcasing Soviet Republics! Nice and well-organized collection with most spots already filled in! Gen. VERY FINE, VERY FINE, mint NH (We only photographed early portion to midcentury and then tail end of the collection, primarily showcasing Soviet Republics, just a small preview of this massive collection)
