Q3a imperf right side, Facit #P2IIB [5 øre Perforation 12.25, Printing II, 1910] Mint hinged with Superb centering and full original gum, but with extremely light stain that neither the expertizer or the previous owner had noticed. Accompanied by Kaiser 1983 photo certificate (does not mention the stain). Only a total of 4500 stamps were released with one side imperforate; only 1125 examples existed of any particular side -- many fewer still exist today.

Q3a, Facit #P2I [5 øre Perforation 12.25, Printing I, 1905] Mint with VF++ centering, but with disturbed original gum. Nice example of "cut in lower right frame line" variety (no extra cost). Accompanied by Carl Aage Møller photo certificate (Bundes Prüfer). Very pretty example with wonderful, deep color. Facit 2010 value SEK 6000 = $810 [7/2010] -- with full undisturbed (hinged) gum, this would easily sell for more than $810 with such nice centering. If you collect the front of the stamp and not the back, this is a very nice example at a great price.

Q2, Facit #P5IB [Pakke-Porto 2 øre 1915 printing] Mint Superb top margin straight-edge example. With a net quantity of only 200 sheets (another 200 were officially reperforated), only 600 top-edge stamps such as this originally existed; probably less than 100 mint examples remain today and how many could be this nice?! Wonderfully fresh and bright.

Q5 Print I (1915) Mint with Superb centering, but with small thin spot. Very attractive, and scarce, stamp that would otherwise sell for about $340 with this centering. Though this printing is somewhat scarcer, this example is priced the same as the least costly printing in similar quality. A beautiful stamp!
