These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but many have described 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.
Scott #3 [1872 3 cent Rose, Perforated] Mint, WITHOUT GUM (typical), with F-VF centering (three margins, typical). Unusually Dark Carmine color. A very attractive example! A with-gum example of this centering would be $130. [This issue was printed on very thin paper, often resulting in the watermark shows through when against a dark background. The website image shows both dark and light backgrounds.]
