41 [1883 12 øre Olive Green 21 mm Posthorn] Used Superb with very neat and clear 1884 cancellation, exceptional centering, excellent perforations, and strong color. However, this beauty has a shallow thin that is hard to see, and which some might not notice. One could search for many years and not find a nicer looking example! Otherwise $600+ for this quality! ACTUAL item. |

43, Facit #43vm2, NK #39Y Vertical Watermark (in NK watermark position 6) [1882 20 øre Brown, Unshaded Posthorn, 21 mm Frame, Vertical Wtmk] Mint Fine-centered 6-BLOCK with FIVE STAMPS NEVER HINGED (top center stamp lightly hinged). Provenance: From the Norm Gary collection (identified by Norm Gary as plate positions 36-38/46-48), then the Jay Smith stock, then the David Carnahan collection, and now the Jay Smith stock again. This is a very scarce multiple! Facit 2022 Classic prices NH singles at SEK 4500 EACH, Hinged singles at SEK 1300; and an all-hinged FOUR-block at SEK 9,000 (or a 1.73 multiplier of four Hinged singles to a block). NK 2018 uses a block multiplier of 2.777 for this stamp and records only TWO unused 6-blocks (total for both vertical and horizontal watermark; hinging status not reported) as well as 7 larger unused units. The total Facit value for the six singles in this block is SEK 23,800 and as a block it can be extrapolated to a value in the neighborhood of SEK 40,000. An extraordinary and important Mint (mostly NH) multiple from the 21 mm Posthorn issue. Such multiples are seldom offered, typically only once every one or two generations. An extraordinary item at a very reasonable price. ACTUAL item. |

43, Facit #43vm2, NK #39Y Vertical Watermark [1882 20 øre Brown, Unshaded Posthorn, 21 mm Frame, Vertical Wtmk] Mint, original gum, moderately hinged, with Fine+ centering. An attractive example with great color and excellent perforations. I have provided the watermark information for completeness, but this is the "normal" watermark orientation on this stamp, thus this is the "normal" Scott #43, not a variety. This is not quite one of the highest catalog value stamps in the 21 mm range, but Mint examples are amazingly hard to find with original gum. ACTUAL item. |
