Finland: Stamps: Scott 1-5 -- Ovals and Kopek Serpentines  
Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are any seeking stamps (or any condition or any quality) not listed here, please send your want list using your choice of Scott or Facit numbers.
Unless there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most early stamps had multiple printings, thus color shades vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors. If there is a 6-digit item number in the left-most column, the image is of the actual item being offered.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider. Furthermore, new stamps are being put in stock every day; if the quality and/or condition you are seeking is not listed, please send your want list.
Certain stamp issues have exceptional quality / centering criteria due to their method of production. For detailed descriptions of those criteria, see the following pages:
Scott #4-13: Serpentine Roulettes
Scott #17-24: 4-Numerals Perforation 11
Scott #46-82: Russian Designs
Scott #111-8: Vasa Lions
M-30 Lions: Scott #158-176I, 195-6, 212, 221-2, 243, 250, 257-62, 270-5, 291-6, 302-4, M2-3
The publication of this list is a "first effort" in quite a long time. It surely includes a few errors; I will be grateful if you would inform me of any errors. Stamps "missing" from the list simply might not be included because they are not in stock or are singles which are normally only listed in full sets. Just the same if it seems like something obvious (and not a single from a set) is missing, please let me know. If you can offer for sale items that are not listed here, please do so; I especially need sources of pre-1930 mint (hinged or never hinged) stamps and recent used complete sets. Prices are subject to typographical error and change, but I will do my best to honor the listed prices to the extent of available stock.

Scott #4, LK Spacing, Deep Blue (Facit #3C1LK) [1860 5 kopek Serpentine, Roulette I] Used with VF appearance, looks like almost full teeth. Only one tooth missing and with very large margins on three sides and reasonable margin on the fourth side. There are a couple blunted teeth and a couple of the typical creased teeth. This example has Facit "LK" spacing between stamps (1.6 mm horizontally and 2.3 mm vertically). Even though only the horizontal distance (1.6 mm between stamps) can be measured on this example (in the right margin), both the top and bottom margins exceed 1.6 mm, thus this must have 2.3 mm distance vertically, thus this can only be LK spacing. Very attractive with remarkably deep color. Perfectly centered, but very light, TAMMERFORS 1865 "arc" style cancellation. A remarkably attractive example with great overall appearance. Examples of this stamp with such deep color are seldom offered.

Scott #4, K Spacing, Light Blue (Facit #3C1Kd) [1860 5 kopek Serpentine, Roulette I] Used with VF centering and FULL TEETH. The design is perfectly centered with small margins (excepted for K Spacing). This example has Facit "K" spacing between stamps (1.6 mm horizontally and 1.6 mm vertically). Even though measurement of the distance to the adjacent stamps is not possible because no adjacent framelines are present, the cancellation is dated 24 April 1864, which aligns with the Light Blue color of the Kd printing, and the small margins. Furthermore the LK Spacing was not distributed before 30 April 1864 and the L Spacing did not start until 5 September 1864, thus this can only be K spacing. Remarkably light color. Perfectly centered, with moderate "....FORS" 1864 "arc" style cancellation (which could be from HELSINGFORS or TAMMERFORS). There is an additional, typical, "x" (actually a double-x in one direction) manuscript cancellation that is not as neat as it could be. A nice example with good overall appearance. Facit 2024 value for FULL TEETH is SEK 1800.

Scott #4a [1860 5 kopek Serpentine, Roulette II] Used with F-VF appearance, but with a thin. There is only one missing tooth (maybe two if an irregular corner is counted), but also the typical couple creased tooth tips. Looks nice with a very light cancellation, bright color, and a very sharp printing impression. Very low priced. (Scott 2025 value $190.)
