9 [1878 7 cent Red Lilac and Orange] NH SUPERB 3-strip in stunning quality. The stamps are from positions 78-80 in the sheet (there was only an A sheet). The Oval Types are 3-2-3 (though not of particular importance, this is the only possible normal-frame strip in the sheet which contains oval types 3-2-3). The left stamp has oval variety 64. The minor frame variations are consistent with the description by Nielsen, however, the center and right stamp show additional obvious varieties that I am surprised Nielsen did not mention: Center stamp with split upper left frame line and right stamp with missing portion of inner/thin lower right frame line. Wonderfully fresh and bright. [The 7 Cent Bicolor has a special distinction. The oval exists in four types; four copies of the mute master oval die were made and then the large 7 and the "7 CENTS." were each engraved, resulting in difference. This was the only Cents value that was manufactured in this way and of ALL the Danish and DWI bicolors, it is the only stamp which has variations of the large central number! Further information can be found in the Nielsen bicolor handbook (which I stock).]

9/9b [1878 7 cent Red Lilac and Orange, Normal and Inverted Frames] NH SUPERB horizontal pair with INVERTED FRAME on right stamp. Wonderful example with post office fresh gum, perfect centering, and perfect perforations. GEM QUALITY. Facit 2010 value for NH combination pair, but with normal centering, is SEK 3000 = US$400 [7/10], however, this is significantly above that grade. This must be the nicest combination pair I have had in 37 years.

9/9b [1878 7 cent Red Lilac and Orange, Normal and Inverted Frames] Mint F-VF bottom margin 6-block containing TWO INVERTED FRAMES in the two top right stamps. Positions 83-85/93-95. The Oval Types are 1-3-1/4-4-1. Position 94 (bottom center) has oval variety 99 (short bottom line in E of CENTS). The top left stamp has slight darkening due to oxidation, however, overall the color is otherwise true and fresh. The block has been sensibly reinforced, but the bottom margin has been reattached [the perforations were so weak on this issue that very few unreinforced blocks have survived]. Despite the catalog value premium for blocks and frame combinations, this is reasonably priced at only the break-up value of the stamps!

10, Facit #10f, AFA #11, Print VI. Mint Superb, no gum. Facit 2005 value SEK 800 = $116. This particular printing is very scarce with gum; neither Facit or AFA can even price NH examples. A wonderfully attractive example.
