11 CLEAR PRINT, Facit #11c [1868 "1 SKILL 1" Lion Coat of Arms] Mint, hinged, with typical Average centering. Full original gum with a hinge in one corner where it apparently held together a block. This example is very obviously the Clear Print, but the color is nearly black rather than the usual dark gray for the Clear Print. Facit 2024 assigns a value of SEK 1500 to this printing, more than twice that of the most common color of the other two Blurred Print printings. ACTUAL item. |

15 Rose Carmine [1867 "8 SKILL 8" Coat of Arms, not rose clear print] Used with VF centering. Fresh appearance with neat 1871 partial KRAGERŲ cancellation. A remarkably clear printing, but not quite to the degree of Scott #15a (Rose, Clear Printing), though many would probably identify this as #15a.
