Scott #120 [1921 25 öre Lion, Coil] Mint, original gum, NEVER HINGED LINE PAIR with Fine/Average centering. While we all would likely prefer nicer centering, the centering of this item shows off the MIS-ALIGNMENT of the printing half-cylinders more clearly than can be seen on a well-centered example. The stamp on the left is Fine centered toward the top, but the stamp on the right is centered significantly higher so that its top frameline is cut by the top edge of the coil stamp. In my experience, this amount of misalignment of the two half-cylinders is unusual. This line pair is very fresh and bright, with strong correct color (the color is NOT oxidized as is sometimes seen on this stamp). The perforations are fairly typical for this issue. The gum is original and post-office-fresh never hinged, with the normal and expected gum skip lines running in the same direction as the coil roll. Line pairs of this stamp are "scarce". Furthermore even NH singles of this stamp can be hard to obtain. The Facit Classic 2024 value SEK 700 (about US$70 8/2026) for two single NH stamps! ACTUAL item. |
