2, 1868 Official Reprint. [1855 4 skilling banco blue Coat of Arms] Mint F-VF centered example, but gum that is either disturbed (probably) or regummed. These are typically found without gum. Lower left corner perforation tooth rounded and two very slightly shorter perforation teeth. This is Type "g" (of the nine types of the 4 sk reprints). There were two reprintings in 1868; they differ only very slightly in appearance and are hard to separate. Between the two printings, a total of 1885 reprints were printed, of those only 209 were Type "g". Assuming the more common of the two 1868 reprintings, the Facit 2020 value is SEK 4000! Very attractive and fresh looking.

6-7, 9-12 The complete set of 1963 Official Reprints from the third volume of the 1963 handbook. These reprints were only issued in the handbook, thus the stamps are either adhered to the book page or have been removed and thus have no gum. Gummed examples should not exist in private hands. VF set on book page. [If you desire, I can remove the reprints from the page; there is no charge for this service, but the page is destroyed in the process.]
