FINLAND, 1866-74, 5p Black on Yellow, Roulette III, Error of Color (12d; Facit 7v6C3). Unused (no gum), bright fresh color, few short or blunted “teeth” at sides FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 5-PENNIA BLACK ON YELLOW COLOR OF ERROR. ONE OF LESS THAN 20 EXAMPLES THOUGHT TO EXIST AND QUITE POSSIBLY UNIQUE IN UNUSED CONDITION. Upon review of some of the finest collections of Finland sold at auction, we have been unable to locate another unused example. As is typically the case for these serpentine roulettes, most of the known used examples we have encountered have had at least one or more short teeth.With 1997 Gummesson certificate. Catalogue values are for used examples with short perforations. Scott $15,000.00. SK130,000
