(24) Facit/NK #24IIbv WITHOUT PERIOD (Type 9) [1877 5 øre Shaded Posthorn, Horizontal Watermark, BLACKISH BLUE] Used Average with pen-cross cancellation. This color is very scarce, undervalued in all the catalogs. Furthermore, though the catalogs give a 1.5 to 2 times multiple for the Type 9 (without period after FRIM) stamps, they are in much, much greater demand than that multiple suggests. Lower right corner perf rounded, but easily compensated for by an obvious plate variety "lower right frame line corner open". Very scarce stamp in several respects. ACTUAL item. |

28 [1877 25 øre lilac Shaded Posthorn] Used with XF centering and remarkably dark color for this stamp, but with a small thin spot. Excellent perforations for this stamp and with remarkably light and neat cancellation. Such nice looking examples are quite hard to find. This centering and appearance would otherwise be $160. A beautiful, but inexpensive example of this key stamp. ACTUAL item. |
