4-5, 6-11 [1860 5, 10 kop; 1866 5, 8, 10, 20, 40 penni, 1 mark Serpentines] THE COMPLETE SET OF 1893 OFFICIAL REPRINTS. NEVER HINGED, almost-matched set of lower left corner margins (only the 8 penni is not; it has only a bottom margin). FULL TEETH and with VF OR BETTER CENTERING. Incredibly fresh and bright. [Around 1995 I sold this set is from a freshly broken block; recently I purchased the entire collection of that client.] Only 1000 printed; undervalued in the catalogs, especially in such pristine condition. Wonderfully fresh -- a stunning set! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #4, K Spacing, Light Blue (Facit #3C1Kd) [1860 5 kopek Serpentine, Roulette I] Used VF with almost full teeth. Only one tooth missing and with excellent margins on all four sides. This example has Facit "K" spacing between stamps (1.6 mm horizontally and 1.6 mm vertically). Even though only the vertical distance (1.6 mm between stamps) can be measured on this example (in the bottom margin), the other two spacing possibilities would have a 2.3 mm distance vertically, thus this can only be K spacing. Very attractive and delicate light blue color. Neat corner-cancel circular postmark plus manuscript "x" as was often the practice. A very attractive example wit great overall appearance.
