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.

1 with four large margins. "Looks Mint", but with expertly removed cancellation and regummed. A convincing space filler for a mint example (which would be around $10,000 mint with genuine gum).

10, Facit #10a Light Grayish Brown. Used Fine with thin. Somewhat unusual usage in 1877, after the currency change, but while still valid (and with single-ring cancel, still considered used in the correct period). (Facit 2005 value SEK 1100 = $154.)

10, Facit #10b Dark Brown (scarce color). Used with Superb centering and Superb 1865 LAURVIG cancellation, but with small tear in top margin above E of NORGE. (Facit 2005 value SEK 1300 = $180 for normal quality; without the defect, a stamp of this appearance would easily fetch $600!!)

10, Facit #10c Dark Red Brown (scarcest color). Used F-VF with thin and couple short perfs, but still attractive. Used in 1880 after the currency change, but with early period type single ring cancellation. (Facit 2005 value SEK 1500 = $210.)

12 Used Average, with partial 4-ring numeral cancellation (number not readable). This type of cancel was only used in the later period of validity. While this stamp was valid until 1908, I cannot recall ever in 36 years having another example with 4-ring numeral cancellation. The 4-rings were mostly used on ships and in remote locations, often with only seasonal post offices and the later-use Skilling stamps are rarely seen used from such places.
