6 Light Green [1858 5 öre Coat of Arms] Used with F-VF centering and very well centered and crisp AVESTA 6 May 1871 cancellation (almost perfectly centered vertically, just a little too the left to be called a Superb cancellation). While this town is not scarce, such nice cancellations on this stamp are unusual. Perfect perforations and fresh color. A very attractive example! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #6, Facit #7f Light Yellow Green [1858 5 öre "Vapen" Coat of Arms, 1872-1873 Printing] Used with VF centering, with a neat, partial 22 April 1872 FJEL(LB)ACKA cancellation -- a somewhat scarcer town. Wonderfully fresh and bright, an excellent-looking example of this darker end of the spectrum for this color, with excellent centering, and "perfect" perforations. This printing is the only one for this stamp that utilized the new "1875" perforating machine. This is a somewhat scarcer color of the 5 öre. 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. |

Scott #6, Facit #7d Light Green [1858 5 öre "Vapen" Coat of Arms, 1864-1867 Printing] Used with XF centering and an "almost perfectly" centered 21 June 1870 WENERSBORG cancellation (also with a tiny part of a second cancellation strike). Wonderfully fresh, an excellent-looking example of this color, with excellent centering, and "perfect" perforations. The Facit #7d 2024 listing does not correspond to the Nordisk Filateli color images pages produced ca.1980. There have been some Facit number reassignments since then. This printing / color was only made with the "1855" perforations -- the 1855 perforations are almost always irregular and often have broken / missing perforating pins, but this example has absolutely perfect perforation teeth. This is a "slightly scarcer" color / printing and examples this nice are quite hard to find. An excellent example of this stamp. ACTUAL item. |
