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 #10d, Facit #9v1C1b [1866 40 penni, Roulette I, Stamp Type I (normal), Normal Paper, Dull Red (1872)] Used, with FULL TEETH and VF centering with ample to large margins. With almost perfectly positioned and upright, but extremely light, blue arc-style WIBORG (Lost Territory, now part of Russia) 1870s cancellation -- much nicer than usual.
