These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but most have hidden flaws. You can save a tremendous amount of money when you add such stamps to your collection. Each stamp is one of a kind, so please let me know if I may substitute a different example (that looks as good or better, for the same cost) if the stamp you order has sold. If you have any doubts, all are available for approval viewing. If you are seeking stamps of this quality and price level from any of the Scandinavian countries, just send along your want list -- I will be happy to send bargains on approval. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise stated.

1 Used slight defects, lightly canceled. Looks nice. (The lighter paper coloration suggests that this might be 1a, yellow gum, but cannot be determined for sure.)

3 Used VF with tiny pinhole (otherwise $393!). Remarkably clear and sharp print and neat 4-ring target cancel. Such nice appearance is very scarce.

4 Used VF+ centered and appearance with neat, correct, light cancellation and brilliant color, but with tiny pinhole. Keep in mind that usually only the most beautiful stamps were pinned onto dealer display boards in the earliest days of philately. It is not unusual to find beautiful examples of pre-1880 stamps with a tiny pinhole. Otherwise, this stamp would easily fetch $900!
