Nice.
Facit 1376 (on the left) & 1376v (on the right) from 1997.
I've not seen this before. Thanks for sharing it.
I had to look it up to find the difference!
2.4 million were issued of the regular stamp and 600,000 of the variety.
Lucky I have a Facit catalogue! I'd never have seen what the difference was between the two otherwise.
WellI don't have a Facit. Two things I do see, are broken lines on the hockey stick outline, just above the curve (LH stamp), and a line missing on the RH stamp, just above center on the far right of the stamp. Appears to be a continuation of the far left line in it's adjoining stamp.
Am I right???
The small curved line just above the MM is missing on every stamp of the right column of the sheet.
I though somebody was asking for a rather common stamp but when he mentioned the missing line, I had to look at my dups. and out of 20 stamps just one had the line missing.
Scott mentions the missing line stamp in a footnote.
Seems to me that all of the stamps from the right column of the sheet would be missing the curved line. Apparently it is part of the design and connects to the line at the left of the stamp. I wonder if the selvage to the left column would have the "missing" line.

Just find out about this Finland variety, luckily I had a copy on my stack of duplicates.
