Scott #25i, AFA #22a, Facit #28a. Printing 1. [1875 (1875 printing: ultramarine and gray) 3 øre Bicolor, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used with F-VF centering and neat #24 (Helsingør) 3-ring numeral cancellation. Has a couple small faults (couple blunted perfs at upper left side and tiny margin tear at top center that needs a magnifying glass to see). This first printing is quite scarce in any quality -- this is an attractive example at a great price. The 2025 Scott value for #25i is $75, but that is really for the much more common Print 4. As of the 2025 edition, the Scott Classic Catalogue assigns numbers to the major color groups of these 3 øre stamps. The Facit 2024 value for this Print 1 is SEK 1600!!

Scott #25, AFA #22, Facit #28g. Printing 7. [1875 (1884 printing: grayish ultramarine and gray) 3 øre Bicolor, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used with Fine+ centering and neat, well-centered "(KJØ)BENHAVN. V." cancellation; this cancel style did not include a year date. This cancellation has an unusual style, with small town name lettering. This Print 7 can be confused with Print 6, but THIS Print 7 has thicker paper and the frame color is more grayish. Also, perhaps because of the thicker paper, Print 7 tends to have wider perforation teeth (smaller perf holes). An attractive example. As of the 2025 edition, the Scott Classic Catalogue assigns numbers to the major color groups of these 3 øre stamps; this color combination is now the main #25 number. Facit 2024 value SEK 450.

1875-1894 Perforation 14 Bicolors: 3 Øre continued ...
Scott #25e, AFA #22, Facit #28h. Printing 11. [1875 (1892 printing: clear blue and pearl gray) 3 øre Bicolor, Perf 14 x 13.5] Used with F-VF centering and a mostly "face free" cancellation. An attractive example. While this is not a scarce printing, the identification requires comparison examples (which I do have identified by Lasse Nielsen) and thus it is seldom offered fully identified. As of the 2025 edition, the Scott Classic Catalogue assigns numbers to the major color groups of these 3 øre stamps.
