Scott #B59 [1957 25+10 øre green Nordkapp semi-postal] (VF) solo use on 12 July 1960 tourist picture post card (monument at Nordkapp to Louis Philippe of Orleans, later King of France (1830-1848), who visited Nordkapp in 1795 while in exile) sent to Sweden. NORDKAPP illustrated handstamped cancellation; Superb strike on stamp, also Superb strike as side cancellation. Multiple types of this postmark exist; compare carefully. Correct 25 øre franking for Nordic post card rate (1 Jan 1956 - 30 June 1962). Even though Sweden is right next door, Nordkapp covers and cards to Sweden are remarkably unusual; I was lucky to obtain a small group from a collection built in Sweden. This stamp is hard to find as a correct, non-philatelic solo use on cover or card and especially for the Nordic post card rate. The single used stamp itself is a somewhat scarce stamp; it has a 2025 Scott value of $6.25. Very attractive example. ACTUAL item. |
