Set of 15, Scott 84-84N, MNH.










All 15 values of this set were issued (placed on sale) in Bhutan at one time on its official issue date (above).  Catalogs cite the issue dates as the dates that the Bhutan Stamp Agent in the Bahamas first placed portions of the set on sale.  The agent did this to mask the high face values and extended nature of the set, in its reaction to collector complaints about being "milked" in order to complete their collections.  The APS "black blotted" these extended sets for a long time.  Major catalogs only noted their existence without listing them fully or valuing them, in an effort to point out that it was thought there was no legitimate postal need for these kinds of issues.  In 1990, Bhutan policy changed, and for a long period, the stamp agent (IGPC, by that time) was no longer permitted to prepare such sets.  Every long set issued was valid for postage in Bhutan.  That remains so to this day.  No regular (non-fiscal) Bhutanese postage stamp has ever been demonetized.
