These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but most have lesser centering or perhaps 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. This is just a small sampling, thus 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.

26 [1872 50 öre Carmine-Rose Ringtype, Perforation 14] Mint VF appearing example with excellent centering, perforations, and color. However, has a small thin spot. The gum has the outward appearance of being original, but under high magnification it can be seen to affect the perforation tips, thus it has either been expertly regummed or has slightly disturbed gum. A very attractive example of a mint stamp not often seen. Facit 2017 value is SEK 7,500 or about $850 for normal mint hinged quality.

33 Facit #33a Carminish Dull Red [1877 20 öre Ringtype, Perf 13] Mint F-VF centered, but without gum. Strong, distinctive red color of the first printing; completely unlike the orange-family later printings. I have just proposed a sub-number listing for this stamp to the Scott Catalog editors -- I should have done it years ago. If had gum would be priced at $360, but original gum examples are extremely scarce.
