Q1, Facit #P4IC2 [1915 1 øre, Perforation 11.5, OFFICIALLY REPERFORATED] Mint F-VF+. Officially reperforated at left -- this printing was first made with imperforate sheet margins; 225 sheets had those margins officially reperforated to make them look more like other stamps. Only 675 of each side originally existed -- probably fewer than 300 of this left position remain today. Wonderful quality rarely seen on these officially reperforated issues. Outstanding!

Scott #Q2, Facit #P5IB, Daka #7IB, Wowern #7b [2 øre Pakke-Porto, 1915 Printing I, Perforation 11.5, Imperforate one side] Mint with VF+ centering, but with thins and a crease. Though 400 sheets if the 1915 printing were originally printed, 200 of those had their outer margins officially reperforated in 1918. Thus only 200 sheets of this printing were left with their original imperforate outer margins, which results in only 600 each originally existing with one imperforate margin on any particular side -- only 600 examples of this stamp imperforate top side could possibly exist, but I doubt that more than 200-300 still exist today in any condition or quality. Facit 2013 value is SEK 2700 = US$400 which is low for such a scarce stamp! Despite the quality problems, the centering this nice is very scarce for this stamp.

Q2, Facit #P5II (brownish gray paper) [2 øre, 1919 second printing] Mint F-VF+, but with small, faint discoloration area on the gum (only on the gum). Otherwise $325! Wonderfully fresh looking example. Looks great from the front and many people would not notice the area on the back and would think I am being too fussy.

Q3a, Facit #P2I [5 øre Perforation 12.25, 1905 Red Brown, First Perf 12.25 Printing] Mint with VF+ centering, nice color, and excellent original gum. Has the distinctive dark color, grainy print, and yellowish gum characteristic of this printing. Has trivial, but typical, small gum bend; mentioned only for complete accuracy but does not affect the value. A wonderful example.

Q3a, Facit #P2IID [5 øre Perforation 12.25, 1910 Light Brown Second Printing] Mint with Superb centering; enormous, perfectly balanced margins. Full original gum, NEVER HINGED. However, has a pinhole in left margin. Lower left corner margin example with straight edges (the 1910 printing had straight edges; 16 of the 25 stamps in the sheet had one or two straight edges). Without the pinhole, a NH stamp of this high quality would sell for around $2400! Very attractive and very reasonably priced.

Q4b THICK PAPER, Facit #P7I [1918 10 øre Perforation 11.5] Used F-VF. First 10 øre Perf 11.5 printing, on thick paper. Most European-made albums have spaces for the thick paper stamps. The 10 øre is remarkably hard to find. Very nice!
Q4b THICK PAPER, Facit #P7I [1918 10 øre Perforation 11.5] Used Just Fine, with neat postmark. First 10 øre Perf 11.5 printing, on thick paper. Most European-made albums have spaces for the thick paper stamps. The 10 øre is remarkably hard to find and is usually not well centered. A very reasonably priced example.

Scott #Q5, Facit #P8IB, Daka #10IB, Wowern #8b [15 øre Pakke-Porto, 1915 Printing I, Perforation 11.5, Imperforate one side] Mint with F-VF centering, but with one tiny thin spot. Though 400 sheets if the 1915 printing were originally printed, 250 of those had their outer margins officially reperforated in 1918. Thus only 150 sheets of this printing were left with their original imperforate outer margins, which results in only 450 each originally existing with one imperforate margin on any particular side -- only 450 examples of this stamp imperforate left side could possibly exist, but I doubt that more than 250 still exist today in any condition or quality. Facit 2013 value is SEK 2700 = US$400 which is extremely low for such a scarce stamp! Despite the tiny spot, this is a very scarce stamp!

Q6 First Printing, Facit #P9IB. NEVER HINGED Superb example with natural straight edge at top (the "B"). Perfect centering, perfect and correct gum for this printing. Wonderfully fresh! Only a total of 1800 P9IB stamps were printed, and only 450 of those had the straight edge at top. Of those, the vast majority were used in normal service; the few remaining mint examples are almost all hinged. Facit 2009 is SEK 5000 = $675 (12/08) for NH with normal (F-VF) centering, but that is really undervalued. This is rare and this could easily be the best existing example!

Q6, Facit #P9IC2, Wowern 15a, Daka 11IE [Pakke-Porto 20 øre 1915 printing OFFICIALLY REPERFORATED (1918)] Mint F-VF centered example. Has large adhesion (from album page?) on back, but otherwise original gum, etc. No other defects of any sort. Excellent appearance, with intact squared-off perf tips at top as is expected. Only 250 sheets were officially reperforated, thus only 750 upper-center stamps ever existed; I doubt that very many mint examples remain today. Without the backside issue, this would sell for about $220!

Q6 THICK PAPER, Facit #P9II [20 øre Perforation 11.5, 1923 THICK PAPER, Second Printing] Mint VF, extremely lightly hinged example with rarely seen freshness. The hinging is so light that the previous owner thought it was NH and I, at first, described it as NH. Even hinged examples of this printing are scarce -- they were mostly used up in postal use; early collectors were either not aware of the paper difference or did not realize its importance. The Thick Paper stamps are included in almost all European-made albums and thus are in strong demand.
