Scott #6, Facit #7f Light Yellow Green [1858 5 öre "Vapen" Coat of Arms, 1872-1873 Printing] Used with Superb centering, but with a small tear in the bottom margin. This example of the color is at the absolute extreme of the "light" end of the spectrum for this Facit listing. Two crisp strikes of a LAHO(LM) cancellation. Wonderfully fresh and bright appearance, an excellent-looking example of this color, with "perfect" centering, and "perfect" perforations. This printing is the only one for this stamp that utilized the new "1875" perforating machine. While the small tear is unfortunate, it is hard to see when it is in the album. This is a somewhat scarcer color and if not for the tear, this wonderful-looking quality would easily fetch $40. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #6, Facit #7b2 (Dark) Green, 1865 Perforations [1858 5 öre "Vapen" Coat of Arms, 1867-1869 Printing] Used with SUPERB CENTERING, but with a thin and a very tiny (nearly invisible) margin tear. With an "almost perfectly" centered 11 September 1969 HEMSE ("VERY SCARCE") cancellation (and also with an extremely tiny part of a second cancellation strike). Wonderfully nice appearance and an excellent-looking example of this color, with fabulous centering, and excellent perforations. The Facit #7b2 2024 listing DOES correspond exactly to the Nordisk Filateli color images pages produced ca.1980 for the color, but back in 1980 they did not know about some of the 1855 vs 1865 perforation differences. This color was produced with both the "1855" and "1865" perforations. This example has the 1865 perforations. The 1855 perforations are almost always irregular and often have broken / missing perforating pins. The stamps of this printing are "slightly scarcer" than some other colors / printings of the 5 öre, but they are often misrepresented as the much scarce Dark Green of Scott #6a (Facit #7a). Though the stamp does have some (hidden) faults, it is a beautiful example with an almost perfect strike of a "very scarce" town cancellation. Without the quality problems, the otherwise Superb stamp and Superb, scarce cancellation would easily sell for $100. ACTUAL item. |

12a Dark Carmine, "1855 Perforations" [1858 50 öre Coat of Arms] Mint VF, but without gum (typical). Great "1855" perforations (variable tooth size and blind perfs) and incredible color! (The carmine colors, Scott #12a, were perforated on an older machine with many bent or missing teeth, resulting in an irregular perforation appearance. These are referred to as "1855 perforations" in the literature. The machine was replaced in 1865.) The Facit 2015 value (with gum) for the Carmines ranges SEK 6000-8000 (12/14 US$900-1200). Very pretty! ACTUAL item. |
