1855, 6 skilling grey-brown (only 5000 printed), unused (as usual without gum), some repairs but still a very nice and good looking copy of this EXTREMELY RARE SHADE. According to Facit ONLY TWO UNUSED EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED, 1) this stamp ex John Ahlström collection and 2) another single with some smaller faults ex 1987 Hafnia Grand Prix collection. A GREAT SWEDEN RARITY. Certificate Helena Obermüller Wilen. Facit 3d unpriced in unused. As comparaison an unused "black-grey" (Facit 3a2 = unpriced: only one known, with small faults) was offered in the 99. Hoiland auction (lot 3045) for 500.000 DKR (67.000 EUR). Michel 3b graubraun, Facit 3d.
