Scott Classic #5b Print 4, Facit #5d, AFA 5.4. Light Green and Light Red Violet on Medium Paper [1873 (1880 printing) 1 cent Bicolor, Perf 14 x 13.5, Normal Frame] Mint with F-VF centering, but has either been regummed or has disturbed original gum. I believe that this has disturbed original gum, likely from long ago removing an ancient hinge remnant. Wonderfully fresh appearance with great color and excellent perforations. Examples, with or without gum, with such nice color are hard to find. All the printings that fall under Scott Classic #5b are scarce with gum. Facit 2024 value is SEK 500 with gum. ACTUAL item. |

Scott Classic #5/5e, Facit #5i, AFA #5.9 [1873 (1895 9th printing: Yellow Green and Brownish Lilac, Thick Paper) 1 cent Bicolor, Perforation 14 x 13.5, Inverted Frame] Used with Superb centering and a very light, neat corner cancellation. 99 of 100 positions of this printing / color have this Inverted Frame; only position 91 has a Normal Frame ("very scarce" and worth watching for). The Scott listing for #5 is this color but with a Normal Frame; the Scott listing for #5e is for this Inverted Frame on this Thick Paper, but with a different color! The Scott listings for these Bicolor stamps are "very compact", with each Scott number attempting to represent several different colors/papers. The AFA Specialized Catalog 2016 (as of September 2026 still the most recent edition) lists this printing at DKK 280 = approx US$44 (9/2026) with normal centering -- but this example is superbly centered. Though this is not a "scarce" stamp in normal quality, examples this nicely centered and this lightly canceled are "remarkably hard to find". ACTUAL item. |

Scott #6 [1873 3c blue and carmine Bicolor, Perforation 14 x 13.5, Normal Frame] Mint, WITHOUT GUM, with Just-Fine centering (the perforations do clear the design. A very fresh-looking example with brilliant colors, excellent perforations, and fairly typical centering for this stamp. Many early collectors believed that, for the best preservation, it was better to remove the gum from delicate early stamps. A Mint Hinged with-full-gum example of this stamp, with this centering, would sell for $26. ACTUAL item. |

Scott Classic #6/6a, Facit #6ev14, AFA #6u.5 [1873 (1885 5th printing: Light Blue and Light Rose) 3 cent Bicolor, Perforation 14 x 13.5, Normal Frame] Used with VF centering very light, neat corner cancellation, but with rounded upper right corner perforation (otherwise flawless). Oval Plate Variety listed by both AFA Specialized and Facit Specialized: "White spot / line through center of S of CENTS. This variety exists in Printings 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. In Printing 5 the variety is only found in sheet position 6. Thus only 2,000 examples of this variety from this printing originally existed. The Scott listing for #6 is a different color; but the Scott listing for 6a is for this color but on thin paper -- Printing 5 is on medium paper. The Scott listings for these Bicolor stamps are "very compact", with each Scott number attempting to represent several different colors/papers. An attractive example with very nice appearance and a remarkably light cancellation. The AFA Specialized Catalog 2016 (as of September 2026 still the most recent edition) lists this variety on this printing at DKK 320 = approx US$51 (9/2026). ACTUAL item. |

Scott #6a Variety, Facit #6b, AFA #6 Print 2, the THICK FRAME printing [1873 3c light blue and rose Bicolor, Thin Paper, Thick Normal Frame (Printing 2, 1876)] Mint, WITHOUT GUM, with F-VF centering. A wonderful, fresh-looking example with brilliant colors, excellent perforations, and better-than-usual centering for this stamp. This example came to me in a very small group of this printing, all without gum; I do not know why there is no gum. However, many early collectors believed that, for the best preservation, it was better to remove the gum from such delicate stamps. Such fresh-looking examples of this stamp, and without defects, are quite hard to find because the extremely thin paper was easily damaged. A very nice example! A Mint Hinged with-full-gum example of this stamp, with this centering, would quickly sell for $95. ACTUAL item. |
