18 Yellow Orange, Facit #18Sa [1875 5 penni 4-Numeral, perf 11] (VF+) on wonderful 23 May 1876 printed-form business letter, complete contents, from NIKOLAISTAD with arc-style cancellation. The cancel date confirms this as Facit #18Sa, a scarce stamp on cover; 2006 Facit value SEK 2500 = $340, for ordinary quality. This example is in beautiful quality; probably the freshest cover with the 5 penni stamp that I have had in 33 years!
