Scott #6, Facit #7e1 (Medium, Grayish) Bluish Green [1858 5 öre "Vapen" Coat of Arms, 1866 Printing] Used with XF-Superb centering. Wonderfully fresh, an excellent-looking example of this color, with "almost perfect" centering, and "perfect" (irregular) perforations for this issue with NO teeth missing. The cancellation device was very worn and thus the cancellation is not readable. However, the small circumference of the cancellation suggests an earlier device style which would certainly have been well-worn by 1866. This Facit #7e1 1866 printing has the "1855" perforations which are always irregular and often have broken / missing perforating pins (as seen by the "blind" perforation hole at top). The irregular (narrow and wide) perforation teeth and the blind holes can be used as an aid in plating the "1855" perforation stamps. (In 1870 the same color appeared again, listed by Facit as #7e2, but with the more regular "1865" perforations.) Though this is not a "scarce" color / printing, examples this nice are quite hard to find. An outstanding example of this stamp. 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. |

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. |

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 Superb centering, but with a small tear in the bottom margin. This example of the color is at the absolute extreme of the "light" end of the spectrum for this Facit listing. Two crisp strikes of a LAHO(LM) cancellation. Wonderfully fresh and bright appearance, an excellent-looking example of this color, with "perfect" centering, and "perfect" perforations. This printing is the only one for this stamp that utilized the new "1875" perforating machine. While the small tear is unfortunate, it is hard to see when it is in the album. This is a somewhat scarcer color and if not for the tear, this wonderful-looking quality would easily fetch $40. 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. |

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. ACTUAL item. |

7 [1858 9 öre Coat of Arms] Used VF+ centered example with wonderful perfectly upright and fully dated 8 January 1864 FALKÖPING postmark, but just slightly off to the right. Faint corner crease, not visible from front (otherwise would easily sell for $375). Beautiful appearance of a stamp that is not often seen with such a nice postmark. ACTUAL item. |

Used with F-VF centering and very crisp "A......D" 13 or 15 August 1865 cancellation. Very attractive and bright example of a slightly scarcer color. ACTUAL item. |
