Scott #15, AFA #15.1x variety. Printing 1, July 1864 (Dark Greenish Gray on Whitish Paper) [1864 16 skilling Crown, Sword, and Scepter; Comb Perforation 13 x 12.5] Used with Superb centering and neat, light but readable, perfectly centered #7 [Assens] numeral cancellation. AFA-listed plate (matrix) variety #15x: "thick oval frame line outside of "G" of "KGL" is very uneven". Extremely nice perforations (the small variance in tooth width is normal and expected for this issue); such nice perforation quality is seldom found on this stamp. A wonderfully attractive example of a stamp that is seldom found so nicely centered, and with a perfectly centered cancellation, and with a plate variety -- and seldom found without any defects! A superior example! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #15, AFA #15.3x variety. Printing 3, December 1869 (Greenish Olive on Yellowish Paper) [1864 16 skilling Crown, Sword, and Scepter; Comb Perforation 13 x 12.5] Used with XF/Superb centering and neat, light but clear #70 [Svendborg] numeral cancellation (placed sideways). However, on the reverse -- not visible from the front -- there is an ancient stamp album mounting stain spot. AFA-listed plate (matrix) variety #15x: "thick oval frame line outside of "G" of "KGL" is very uneven". This Third Printing is the scarcest of the three printings. Extremely nice perforations (the small variance in tooth width is normal and expected for this issue); such nice perforation quality is seldom found on this stamp. A wonderfully attractive example! If not for the spot on the reverse, this would be $250 for this centering, without counting the AFA premium value for the variety! ACTUAL item. |
