Item Description
According to Wikipedia: The "Gate of the sun" set of nineteen stamps was authorized in 1926 to commemorate Bolivia's independence. The stamps were engraved and printed in Germany, and on learning that the stamps had been sold without permission in Europe, the authorities ordered the rest to be locked in a bank vault where they remained for thirty-five years. When eventually they were released in 1960, inflation had caused havoc to Bolivia's currency and they needed to be surcharged.The 19 stamps in this lot appear genuine but have not been surcharged. I assume, therefore, that these stamps were purchased in Germany prior to their official release in Bolivia.
Scott lists the value of this set without surcharges at $60.00. I am selling this lot of stamps as Cinderellas (EFOs). They will make a nice addition to your collection.
