4 [1873 16 skilling Perf 14 x 13.5] Mint with VF+ centering, but some condition problems. The paper is slightly aged and there is a single pulled perf at bottom. There is a slight gum bend only visible from the reverse, but that is typical for the issue. The good news is that this extremely scarce stamp has wonderful centering, color, perforations (except for the pulled one), and full original gum barely lightly hinged! This is the rarest of the 1873 normal postage issues, with a 2010 Facit value of SEK 13,000 (with gum) = $1800 [9/10]. This stamp would easily and quickly sell for well over full catalog value if it did not have the two mentioned problems. As it is, it still looks better than the vast majority of examples I have seen. To demonstrate that it does look nice, it is also shown on a white background as it might on your album page. |
