Finland: Bargains: Scott #60-82: 1901-1917 Russian Designs
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 #69, Facit #54 [1901 10m Russian Arms, Perf 13.5, Lithographed, Distinct Gap between "MA" in top and bottom panels] Used with VF centering, light cancellation, and "perfect" perforations, but with at crease that can only be seen from the reverse. This stamp is missing from most collections -- and in some collections, there is a Scott #75 (the "MA" is connected, typographed) accidentally in this space. A very attractive and unusually inexpensive example of a stamp that can be very hard to find with such nice appearance! This centering and appearance would otherwise be $395!
