Iceland: Bargains: Bargain Stamps - Scott #1-7: 1873 Skilling Issues

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.

Item #	Quality & Description	Used US$
221945	3 Used with Average centering and a couple faults (tiny sealed tear, perfs improved on left). It bears both a pen cancel (unusual) and a small portion of what appears to be a correct serif-style cancel. It is a real #3 used in the proper time period. Facit 2006 value for Used Fine is SEK 10,000 = $1400!	188.00
231029	7 Used space filler with part missing at top, but no other defects. Genuine and proper cancel. Scott 2007 value $625!	49.00
221955	7 Used with F-VF+ centering with unobtrusive faults: crease, tiny tear. However, the cancellation is genuine and correct for the time period (scarce). Facit 2006 value for Used Fine is SEK 5500 = $770! A very attractive example with a very reasonable price; such nice-looking genuinely canceled examples are not often offered.	110.00
