LX2, Facit #13a [1862 non-denominated (3 öre) olive brown "Local"] Mint F-VF, but without gum and with a very small thin spot at top center. This example is unusually fresh looking with white, high quality paper -- unusual for the handmade paper still in use at that time. The perforations are unusually nice and NOT as irregular as usual, but they are still made by the correct so-called "1855" perforator tool that was becoming worn out and was not replaced until 1865. (The perforation 14 reprints were made in 1871 with the new, better "1865" perforator tool; also the reprints are yellow-brown.) Most examples of this stamp are defective and certainly not this attractive. Especially fresh appearance! Facit 2020 value SEK 5500 for with gum, however gummed examples are quite scarce. |
