Scott #78 [1907 16 aur Two Kings] NEVER HINGED, original gum, with Fine centering (typical for this stamp). Very fresh with "perfect" perforations and "pristine" original gum. NH examples are hard to find. For NH, Scott 2025 value is $35, Facit 2024 value is SEK 300, but well-centered examples are much harder to find than those values suggest. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #84 [1907 2 kr Two Kings] NEVER HINGED, original gum, with Average centering. This example has fairly typical centering for this stamp, but it has an unusual production "variety". There is a spot of gum on the front of the stamp in the upper right area. After printing, these stamps were gummed by hand and laid out on shelves to dry. If a worker had a little bit of excess gum on their finger when picking up the next sheet of stamps to apply gum, such a spot of gum could get on the front of a stamp. While this type of "variety" is interesting and seldom seen, it does actually reduce the value -- even though the stamp really is NH. Scott 2025 value for NH is $105 and $37.50 for Hinged. Facit 2024 value for NH is SEK 950 and SEK 300 for Hinged. Very low price! ACTUAL item. |
