Finland: Stamps: Scott 64-69 -- 1901 Russian Designs  
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 #(65 variety) "Emergency Printing", Facit #48 [1901 5p Russian Arms, Typographed, Narrow Frame Line Gap] Used with F-VF centering (which is VF quality for this stamp) and four clear margins, three of which are quite large. Neat, light, proper 11 April 1902 railway cancellation. This was the first stamp printed of the Russian designs (without rings) -- apparently in a rush to transition to 100% Russian-design stamps being used in Finland -- but the printing quality was deemed to be not satisfactory. This stamp is not listed by Scott, but it is listed by all the other major catalogs for Finland. It was printed by typography (letterpress) with a Finnish-made typographic printing plate. The literature states that the printing plate was "unapproved", but in this context, that just means that the quality of the impressions from the plate did not pass muster. The stamps were allowed to be placed into use, but the literature indicates that this printing was distributed to "distant places" (small towns far from Helsinki) -- probably to hide the printing quality from the greatest number of people. This stamp was placed into use on 14 January 1901, on the same date that a very similar stamp was placed into use -- also printed in Finland but from lithographic plates (offset printing) -- along with the other denominations in the set (Scott #65-69). Apparently there was a strong desire, probably for cost reasons, to print the stamps of this set by typography because new typographic plates -- made in Berlin but the printing still done in Finland -- started producing new stamps (Scott #70-75) late in 1901. Both this Scott #(65) VARIETY (Facit #48) and Scott #65 (Facit #50) have narrow spacing between the outer frame line and the body of the design. However, this variety is typographed which can most easily been seen under 10X or greater magnification as "squished" extra ink on either side of the thin outer frame line; also the outer frame line is often more broken up. Under magnification, this typographed variety has mottled appearance of the solid green areas, whereas on the lithographed Scott #65, those areas are more smooth and solid. The literature usually states that this variety is "dull dark green" -- which is generally true, but can vary -- however, the lithographed stamp also exists in a similar color range, so the color is NOT determinative. (The final typographed plate version, Scott #71) has a wide white gap between the thin outer frame line and the body of the design.) A remarkably nice example of a scarce stamp that is quite hard to find with nice centering!

Scott #69, Facit #54 [1901 10m Russian Arms, Perf 13.5, Lithographed, Distinct Gap between "MA" in top and bottom panels] Used with VF centering, light cancellation, and "perfect" perforations, but with at crease that can only be seen from the reverse. This stamp is missing from most collections -- and in some collections, there is a Scott #75 (the "MA" is connected, typographed) accidentally in this space. A very attractive and unusually inexpensive example of a stamp that can be very hard to find with such nice appearance! This centering and appearance would otherwise be $395!
