The Original 1861-80 NEVIS stamps as opposed to the St Kitts/Nevis or post 1980 Nevis
These are truly classics with some that may still be affordable based on condition.
I am sorting out the "Good, Bad & Uglies" for an article and it is quite challenging!!
The reason being that they were produced on 3X4 sheets and each stamp is very different.
Without the original platings it is difficult to distinguish between originals and the better forgeries
Considering my current situation and that these were part of an estate collection pre 1980 - they are not worth certifying and not many can reliably do it.
So here are some beauties I feel pretty good about.
Sc 3 Grey
Sc 6 Dull Rose
Sc 7 Lilac Gray
Sc 8 Green
Sc 9 Red
