1 [1855 3 Skilling Banco] FIRST STAMP OF SWEDEN. Used with typical Average-Fine centering, but with expertly made repairs and perforation "improvements" that most people would not be able to detect, except that the overall margin sizes are smaller than they should be. Otherwise this is a completely genuine example, NOT a reprint or forgery. Neat and crisp "CAR..." cancellation, perhaps CARLSKRONA? WONDERFUL BLUE-GREEN COLOR with extremely sharp and clear printing details. The vast majority of #1 on the market are either damaged or repaired (even if not so described). Facit 2023 value for sound examples is SEK 50,000 = about $5000! This is a nice looking example, even if the margins are too small, at a very reasonable price. Accompanied by 2023 Jay Smith certificate with "lifetime guarantee" (details available). |

2, 1868 Official Reprint. [1855 4 skilling banco blue Coat of Arms] Mint F-VF centered example, but gum that is either disturbed (probably) or regummed. These are typically found without gum. Lower left corner perforation tooth rounded and two very slightly shorter perforation teeth. This is Type "g" (of the nine types of the 4 sk reprints). There were two reprintings in 1868; they differ only very slightly in appearance and are hard to separate. Between the two printings, a total of 1885 reprints were printed, of those only 209 were Type "g". Assuming the more common of the two 1868 reprintings, the Facit 2020 value is SEK 4000! Very attractive and fresh looking. |

7 [1858 9 öre Coat of Arms] Used VF+ centered example with wonderful perfectly upright and fully dated 8 January 1864 FALKÖPING postmark, but just slightly off to the right. Faint corner crease, not visible from front (otherwise would easily sell for $375). Beautiful appearance of a stamp that is not often seen with such a nice postmark. |
