Danish West Indies: Gallery: Select Stamps Scott #1-4
A selection of especially attractive and interesting seldom-offered items. All are available for approval viewing. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise mentioned.
1a [1856 3 cent Dark Carmine with Yellow Gum] Mint VF (4 margins) with full yellow gum. A very nice example, with only very slight discoloration in lower left corner. (Keep in mind that the #1a yellow gum and #1 brown gum were official regumming because the original shipment #1b with white gum was damaged by sea water. Some minor discoloration is typical and expected.) Very fresh and bright example that will look great in any collection.

4 Used VF+ centered and appearance with neat, correct, light cancellation and brilliant color, but with tiny pinhole. Keep in mind that usually only the most beautiful stamps were pinned onto dealer display boards in the earliest days of philately. It is not unusual to find beautiful examples of pre-1880 stamps with a tiny pinhole. Otherwise, this stamp would easily fetch $900!
