Select Stamps - Scott #60-82: 1901-1917 Russian Designs
63 [1895 25p ultramarine 3-Numerals, Perf 14x13] Used Block of Four with VF-XF centering. Sharp, single, well-centered strike of tri-lingual 2 July 1900 HELSINGFORS / HELSINKI cancellation. While the Facit 2024 value of Used blocks of this stamp is modest (SEK 60), examples this nice are "rarely" seen!

Scott (#72a) Type II, Perforation 14.25 x 14, Facit 57IIC1 [1908 10p Russian design, Second Typographed (letterpress) Issue, Perf 14.25 x 14] Mint, Original Gum, Hinged, BLOCK OF FOUR with F-VF centering. The listings for Scott #72 and variations are incomplete and have misleading Scott values. Scott (#72a) in Type I with this perforation is a very scarce stamp, but this Scott (#72a) in Type II with this perforation is not scarce. An attractive block. Blocks have become surprisingly hard to find.
