Sweden: Bargains: Stamps - Black Local Post and Brown Provisional - Scott #LX1-2
These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but most have lesser centering or perhaps hidden flaws. You can save a tremendous amount of money when you add such stamps to your collection. Each stamp is one of a kind, so please let me know if I may substitute a different example (that looks as good or better, for the same cost) if the stamp you order has sold. If you have any doubts, all are available for approval viewing. This is just a small sampling, thus if you are seeking stamps of this quality and price level from any of the Scandinavian countries, just send along your want list -- I will be happy to send bargains on approval. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise stated.
Stamps - Black Local Post and Brown Provisional - Scott #LX1-2
O4 [1874 6 öre violet Official, Perf 14] Mint, without gum, with F-VF centering, but with hidden crease and tiny thin speck. Wonderful color and perfect perforations. This is the Bluish Violet color (Facit #TJ4d) which is a bit scarcer than some of the lilac colors even though the catalog values are the same (very few of the early official stamps show variation in catalog value by color even though they really should). The centering is better than usual for this stamp and no-gum is typical, as are small faults. The crease is really on visible from the reverse. While this example is not perfect, that is typical of this issue, and this is a wonderfully attractive example. Mint values are Facit 2024 SEK 2200 and Scott 2024 $275!
