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! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #69, Facit #54 [1901 10m Russian Arms, Perf 13.5, Distinct Gap between "MA" in top and bottom panels, Helsinki Plate] Used with Fine centering. There is a small black old ink spot on the reverse. This #69 stamp (the "MA" NOT connected) is missing from most collections -- and in some collections, Scott #75 (the "MA" is connected) is accidentally in the #69 space. A very reasonable and unusually inexpensive example of a stamp that can be very hard to find! This centering would otherwise be $265! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #75 [1901 10 mark Russian Design, Berlin Plate, M and A do touch] Used with VF-XF centering. Perfect perforations, great color, and a light cancellation. The perforation tips at the bottom have a faint bluish tinge on them; this may have been on a registered letter to England where the post office draws blue crossing lines on registered letters. An very attractive example at a great price. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #82 [1915 10 mark Russian Design, Third Issue, Perforation 14.25] Mint, modestly hinged, with XF centering. There are some small black specks on the gum in the hinge area (very tiny bits of black paper from old days when stamps were sometimes mounted on black paper pages). The black specks are not really a "defect" per se, but perhaps put this more in the category of hinge remnant. Wonderfully fresh and attractive appearance on the front, with fresh colors, "virtually perfect" centering, and "perfect" perforations. This is a very attractive example of a "scarce" stamp (in any condition) that is missing from most collections. In my opinion, this stamp issue is significantly under-valued in all conditions. I am only able to occasionally offer a Mint (or Used) example. This would otherwise be $250! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #82 [1915 10 mark Russian Design, Third Issue, Perforation 14.25] Used with XF centering and a neat, light, smaller-town cancellation. Great color, great centering, and "perfect" perforations. Because this stamp is valued higher in Used condition than Mint, when a cancellation is light, one must consider whether or not the cancellation is correct for the stamp. In this case, while I cannot be sure of the town name, it is a smaller town using the Finnish-Swedish bilingual cancellation style. I am confident that the cancellation is correct and genuine. Just to be clear, there is absolutely no concern whatsoever about the genuineness of this stamp -- the stamp and perforations are genuine! This is a very attractive example of a "scarce" stamp (in any condition) that is missing from most collections. In my opinion, this stamp issue is significantly under-valued in all conditions. I am only able to occasionally offer a Used example. ACTUAL item. |
