1 Mint, no gum, with VF centering, but with hidden faults. A completely genuine and unaltered stamp, but with a tiny natural inclusion (speck of wood pulp), light crease, and two very tiny thin spots. This stamp is more often than not found without gum. The Facit 2010 value for faultless a stamp with gum, but with typical centering (which this is much, much better), is SEK 9500 = $1325. This example actually looks much better than most that come along.
