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).

1 Used Average (only two clear margins) but with very nice color and unusually crisp, attractive 11-bar cancellation.
2 Used, Fine centered with just a hint of a thin spot. Bright color, fresh looking with additional red postmark as the result of being on a letter to another country.

4 [Fire Skilling Oscar] Mint with Average centering and slightly disturbed original gum. Has a little aging (it is over 150 years old), but it has gum which is very unusual for this stamp! A very scarce stamp in Mint condition.
6 Used VF looking with light cancel and bright color, but reperfed. Normally VF is $237!

6 Used F-VF with nearly full town cancellation. Has appearance of a thin spot, but I cannot find any evidence of disturbed paper fibers; thus is either the result of oily cancellation ink, and/or "gum soaking" making the paper translucent in that spot, and/or a paper abnormality. Attractive and nice looking. F-VF is normally $160!

7 Used Fine with very sharp impression and neat 1867 cancellation, but with couple hardly noticeable short perfs on lower left side. Otherwise would easily fetch $375! One of the key issues that is on every want list.

7 Used with Fine centering. A nice looking stamp, but with a small thin spot that some would not even notice. Otherwise would be around $400! This stamp is missing from most collections.

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.)
