Scott #81 [1921 green 10 øre Posthorn] Mint, very moderate hinging, with XF centering. This stamp always has small-hole perforations which are virtually always rough on at least one side (as this stamp shows on the left side). This stamp is "extremely difficult" to find with nice centering; most examples seen are only Fine or perhaps F-VF. This example has nice perforations for this small-hole perforation issue. While this stamp has a modest catalog value, it is "very much scarcer" with nice centering than the catalog value suggests -- sometimes two or more years pass before I can offer an example this nicely centered.

Scott #83 Dark Red Brown [1910 brown (shades) 15 øre Posthorn] Mint, hinge remnant, with VF centering. Facit lists (#109a) a Reddish Brown, but this is NOT that. The Facit-listed "Reddish Brown" is a very light color, which I call "Light Red Brown". Instead this is Facit #83b which Facit describes in very general terms as a range of colors, "Dark Brown to Brown". The "Dark Brown" extreme of that spectrum is very dark and is NOT obviously reddish. However, the "Brown" end of that spectrum is actually this color -- which I call "Dark Red Brown" to clearly distinguish it from the Facit #83a. This stamp is remarkably difficult to find with nice centering; most examples seen are only Fine or perhaps F-VF. This example has nice perforations for this small-hole perforation issue. While this stamp has a modest catalog value, it is much scarcer with nice centering than the catalog value suggests. ACTUAL item. |
