Scott #6 Light Yellow Green, Facit #7f [1858 5 öre green Coat of Arms (1872 printing)] NEVER HINGED with VF centering, perfect perforations, perfect NH gum, and wonderful color and freshness. Accompanied by a 1982 Franz Obermüller b/w photo certificate -- the premier certificate at that time and still very highly respected today. The certificate states (translated): "Unused with original gum. Genuine. No repairs. No defects. No improvements. Very beautiful, clean, and fresh, "Posfriskt **" (Post office fresh ** never hinged). "Praktexemplar" (magnificent example)." FO assigned it a grading of 4,5,5 -- which is exceptional for this stamp. Mint Hinged examples of this stamp are quite scarce with original gum and nice centering. However, NH examples this nice are "rare". Most recently this stamp was in the John A. Haggstrom collection. (The Facit 2024 Catalog prices NH examples at SEK 5000 and Praktexemplar NH examples at SEK 7500.)

7 Blue Violet (Facit #8d) [1858 9 öre Coat of Arms] Mint with F-VF centering and so lightly hinged you may not be able to find the hinge mark even with a 10x magnifying glass. Accompanied by a 2012 Helena Obermüller-Wilén certificate stating that it is mint with original gum, with a SFF grade of 3,3,4 and with the comment that translates to "A very beautiful and fresh example". It really is an extremely nice example of a stamp that is quite scarce in such fresh condition.

11 Rose Brown (Scott 2018 Classic #11b) (Facit #11g) [1858 30 öre Coat of Arms] Mint, NEVER HINGED, original gum, with F-VF centering. Accompanied by a 2012 Helena Obermüller-Wilén certificate stating that it is mint with original gum, never hinged ("postfrisk"), with a SFF grade of 3,3,5 and with the comment that translates to "A very beautiful and fresh example". Wonderful delicate color, perfect perforations, and perfect gum (with the expected "pooling" of the later printings). While mint examples of this workhorse stamp are offered in the market, they are usually dingy and shopworn, and rarely NH -- NH examples are very scarce. Facit 2018 value SEK 9000 for least costly printing. An outstanding example with freshness rarely seen!

11 GROUP OF 6 COLORS [1858 30 öre Coat of Arms] Used group of 6 F-VF (or better) centered stamps, each with a different color/shade. Colors range from Browns to Dark Red Brown (Scott 11a) to Light Rose Red Brown (Scott 11b, Facit 11c -- scarce, Facit 2020 value SEK 1000). All are attractive and without defects these are NOT seconds! These six colors include the scarcest color and make up the majority of the ten Facit-listed colors (which some consider to be only eight different colors; see the Facit listing). Very fresh and attractive.

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!

Unusual dull color shade for this and also unusual for a late printing to be on such thin paper. Priced as a normal stamp.
