10 [1876 6 aur, Perf 14 x 13.5] Mint with Average centering, but no gum. Under 10x magnification, the perfs do not appear to touch the design, but they are close enough to call it Average. Facit 2013 value SEK 1300 = US$205 [1/2013]. Very fresh and attractive with nice color. |

11 PERFORATION ERROR, Facit #12d variety, AFA #8.7y variety, Clear Carmine Red, Thick Paper [1876 10 aur Numeral, Perforation 14 x 13.5 (1895 printing)] This perforation "error" variety -- blind perforation in 5th horizontal hole -- is one of four possible varieties resulting from missing horizontal row pins in the perforating machine -- they are constant varieties on the 7th (1895) printing of this stamp (and the 1895 printings of the 3 and 6 aur stamps). Each of the different perforation errors affects that vertical column in the sheet. Additionally this example has one of the several versions of the AFA #8y plate variety: "Chunk missing from upper right frame line". Similar, but different versions of this variety exist in the sheet; at least two different exist with this particular perforation error. Mint with F-VF centering with only modest hinging, but small thin spot in hinge area. Very attractive appearance with brilliant color. Mint examples of the perforation errors can be quite hard to find. A normal example of this mint stamp, without the thin spot and with this centering would be $204 -- the perforation errors are much scarcer. |

12 Grayish Brown, Facit #13d [1876 16 aur brown Numeral, perforation 14 x 13.5, 1891 printing] Mint, reasonably hinged, with Average centering. A nice looking example at a great price. [This 1891 grayish brown "unclean color" printing can be hard to distinguish from the 1886 yellowish brown printing (color names per the catalogs). When directly compared, the 1891 color does look a bit grayish (and sometimes muddy), but in my opinion it looks more yellowish than the 1886 printing. If I had selected the color names, I would have called the 1891 yellowish brown and the 1886 either brown or reddish brown.] With VF centering, this would otherwise be $170! |

12 Dark Brown Grainy Print, Thin Paper, Facit #13a [1876 16 aur brown Numeral, perforation 14 x 13.5, 1876 printing] Mint, no gum (as usual for this printing), with Average centering (which is typical for this printing). Excellent color showing the grainy print. Though undamaged examples of this printing are scarce, any Mint/Unused examples of this printing are very scarce -- to emphasize this point, the specialized catalogs do not even price NH examples! (Facit 2021 SEK 4500 with gum = approx US$540 7/21.) |
