Q1, Facit #P4IC2 [1915 1 øre, Perforation 11.5, OFFICIALLY REPERFORATED in 1918] Used VF but with moderate thin and tiny corner crease. Officially reperforated at right -- this printing was first made with imperforate sheet margins; 225 sheets had those margins officially reperforated to make them look more like other stamps. Only 675 of each side originally existed -- probably fewer than 300 of this right position remain today. Wonderful quality rarely seen on these officially reperforated issues. This is about as nice looking as these officially reperforated issues get, but at a very low price. Otherwise would be $200.

Scott #Q3, Facit #P6II, Daka #8II, Wowern #23 [1918 5 øre Pakke-Porto, 1924 Printing II, Light Red Brown, Perforation 11.5] Used with XF centering and huge margins, but with light vertical crease that is mostly only visible from the backside. For reasons not known to me, vertical creases are fairly typical on this printing of the 5 øre stamp. Beautiful example. Otherwise would be $160 for this centering.

Scott #Q3, Facit #P6II, Daka #8II, Wowern #23 [1918 5 øre Pakke-Porto, 1924 Printing II, Light Red Brown, Perforation 11.5] Used with VF-XF centering and huge, even margins, but with natural vertical crease and generalized vertical banding that is mostly only visible from the backside. Vertical creases and banding are quite typical and "natural" in the paper on this printing of the 5 øre stamp. Wowern listed plate variety "Cg": "Extra curl on tip of left-most wave" from sheet position 25. Beautiful example with light, but completely proper black oval cancellation. Otherwise would be $150 (without consideration of the plate variety) for this centering.

Scott #Q3 "THICK PAPER". Facit #P6I, Daka 8I, Wowern #16. [5 øre Pakke-Porto, 1918 Printing I, Light Red Brown, Medium to Thick Paper, Perforation 11.5] Used with VF centering and JUMBO MARGINS, with a light, but completely correct, oval black cancellation. This example, with 0.08 mm thick paper, is from sheet position 1, with the Wowern "Ce" variety: cut in top frame line near left corner. (Printings II and III are on very thin paper and often have darker color.) The 5 øre stamp, regardless of printing, is very scarce in such nice quality. To put that into perspective, this was the nicest Used example of the 5 øre stamp from a collection of about 25 examples!
