These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but many have described 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.
135 [1915 5 Kr Post Office Building, Crosses Watermark] Mint with Average centering, but regummed. The perforations on the right side just touch the design. Accompanied by a 2023 Møller color image certificate stating "The stamp is genuine and without repair, regummed." Bright color and paper, with crisp engraving impression. It looks great if you do not mind the centering. By comparison, this exact centering if not regummed would be $170; Fine OG would be $340 and F-VF OG would be $430! This example offered at a huge savings; the previous owner told me that the certificate cost him $50 (presumably including mailing, insurance, etc.)! A very low-priced example!
