3 skilling varies in the colours. The oval is sensitive to light and often pale - print 1 and 4 have a caracteristic deep purple colour. In light with flourescense the colour reflects the light clearly - most from stamps from print 1.
Below are seen photos of stamps from print 1 to 5.


The value 6 sk. does not exist as a stamp, but it was sometimes used as the correct postal rate. Pairs of 3 sk. are not common, but they are seen more often than some of the other values of the bicoloured.
Below is shown two photos of very well preserved pairs of 3 sk - the first is print 1 and the second is print 2.

*The bicoulered with sk. (skilling) are usually found with at least a little imperfect perforation and colourfresh nice cancelled and perfect perforated stamps are often considerably more expensive than the prices given here. The three issues with perforation 12,5 (2sk., 4sk. og 48 sk.) are all difficult to find in perfect colorfresh copies.
