Danish West Indies: Stamps: Scott J1-4  
Scott numbers have been given for these listings. If you would prefer to examine the stamps before purchasing, or you are seeking stamps (or condition or quality) not listed here, you are also welcome to send your want list using Scott, Facit, or AFA numbers.
The images shown in this section are standard images of the issues from my image library; they are presented to show the designs of the stamp issues and not to show the specific individual stamps being offered. The centering of the stamps in the images is usually Superb or VF quality; again these are not images of the individual stamps being offered. Most DWI stamps had between two and eight printings, thus colors vary greatly; the colors in the images are random printings/colors.
All the listed conditions and qualities were in stock at the moment this list was prepared and I endeavor to maintain them in stock and to keep this website updated. However, my stock changes daily and (to paraphrase) good stamps are hard to find. If you are willing to accept a different grade or quality if an item is temporarily out of stock, please let me know when ordering (add a comment at the conclusion of the shopping cart process) and please also let me know of any alternates you will consider.

J1 Printing 1, AFA #P1.1, AFA Plate I (first printing) [1902 1 cent Postage Due] Used with XF centering and perfect perforations, but small thin spot in top margin. Neat, partial "ST. J(AN)" cancellation -- a very scarce postmark. AFA Plates I and II both have the "small dot over I of DIEN"; elsewhere all "small dot" stamps are often described as Plate I). This first printing (Plate I) is Dark Indigo Blue on Bright White Paper. (The second printing of this stamp, AFA Plate II, also with the dot, is Dark Grayish Blue on paper that is usually cream or grayish.) Most use of these stamps was on the back of envelopes, without cancellation; canceled examples are much scarcer than uncanceled (no gum). Only 10,000 of the 70,300 1 Cent stamps are from Printing 1, but the catalog values do not properly represent the scarcity. Furthermore, the catalog values do not properly reflect the value of ordinary postmarked examples ... the ST. JAN cancel is VERY scarce. Such attractive examples are hard to find.

J1 Printing 2, AFA #P1.2, AFA Plate II (second printing) [1902 1 cent Postage Due] NEVER HINGED XF-Superb lower left corner margin 4-block. Printing / Plate confirmed by both color and cliche types (left side type 1, right side type 2) per DuBois (unpublished 1997). [In early philatelic literature, both AFA Plates I and II were described as "Plate I", with a small dot above the I of DIEN.] The perforations are all present and excellent, but many holes are debris-filled as typical for this printing (thus I did not clean out the holes); this is an important point of identification. Blocks of this printing / plate are quite unusual, especially corner margin blocks. I believe that this is the first block of this printing / plate that I have been able to offer in 50 years! This block shows further "flyspeck" varieties for these positions (and possibly these types with further confirmation of consistency across all positions of the types) which could be added to the listing by DuBois. A beautiful example of a scarce multiple and also a philatelically important item. Upon request at time of purchase, the purchaser may receive a draft copy of the 1997 unpublished research paper by DuBois. This is free, but may not be reproduced or distributed in any form whatsoever without my permission. I am the copyright holder.

J1 Printing 3, AFA #P1.3, AFA Plate IIIa (third printing) [1902 1 cent Postage Due] NEVER HINGED XF/VF/F-VF vertical upper right corner margin 10-block. Printing / Plate confirmed by color and paper. This printing exists with a light to dark range of color shades; this example is at the light end of that spectrum. Cliche types (left side type 4, right side type 5) per DuBois (unpublished 1997). [In early philatelic literature, both AFA Plates III/IIIa and III/IV were described as "Plate II", without a small dot above the I of DIEN.] Very fresh and bright appearance, with perfect perforations, however, four stamps show small age spots on the reverse. Blocks of this printing / plate are quite unusual, especially marginal blocks. Of the Cents postage dues, this printing / plate is one for which no sheet is in the postal museum and a sheet is otherwise not recorded to exist. (Thus blocks are important to determine the location of cliche varieties.) I believe that this and three other blocks of this printing / plate are the first that I have been able to offer in 50 years! This block shows further "flyspeck" varieties for these positions (and possibly these types with further confirmation of consistency across all positions of the types) which could be added to the listing by DuBois. Specifically, in addition to all ten stamps showing small undescribed type differences, the plate positions 19 and 20 stamps (second row of this block) shows a prominent "spray" of color dots around the CENTS. A beautiful example of a scarce multiple and also a philatelically important item. Upon request at time of purchase, the purchaser may receive a draft copy of the 1997 unpublished research paper by DuBois. This is free, but may not be reproduced or distributed in any form whatsoever without my permission. I am the copyright holder.

J1 Printing 3, AFA #P1.3, AFA Plate IIIa (third printing) [1902 1 cent Postage Due] NEVER HINGED XF/VF/F-VF vertical upper right corner margin 10-block. Printing / Plate confirmed by color and paper. This printing exists with a light to dark range of color shades; this example is at the dark end of that spectrum with smooth ink coverage. Cliche types (left side type 4, right side type 5) per DuBois (unpublished 1997). [In early philatelic literature, both AFA Plates III/IIIa and III/IV were described as "Plate II", without a small dot above the I of DIEN.] Very fresh and bright appearance, with perfect perforations, some separation and bends in the selvage. Blocks of this printing / plate are quite unusual, especially marginal blocks. Of the Cents postage dues, this printing / plate is one for which no sheet is in the postal museum and a sheet is otherwise not recorded to exist.

J1 Printing 3, AFA #P1.3, AFA Plate IIIa (third printing) [1902 1 cent Postage Due] NEVER HINGED F-VF/Fine horizontal bottom margin 14-block. Printing / Plate confirmed by color and paper. This printing exists with a light to dark range of color shades; this example is at the light end of that spectrum. Cliche types (from left to right: 4,5,1,2,3,4,5) per DuBois (unpublished 1997). [In early philatelic literature, both AFA Plates III/IIIa and III/IV were described as "Plate II", without a small dot above the I of DIEN.] Very fresh and bright appearance, though some minor separations and lower right stamp with a spot. Blocks of this printing / plate are quite unusual, especially marginal blocks. Of the Cents postage dues, this printing / plate is one for which no sheet is in the postal museum and a sheet is otherwise not recorded to exist. (Thus blocks are important to determine the location of cliche varieties.) I believe that this and three other blocks of this printing / plate are the first that I have been able to offer in 50 years! This block shows further "flyspeck" varieties for these positions (and possibly these types with further confirmation of consistency across all positions of the types) which could be added to the listing by DuBois. Because the denominations were individually added to a 5-strip on an intermediate lithographic stone that was then reproduced to make the full plate/stone -- as demonstrated by the 4 Cent denomination with five vastly different figures of "4" -- 5-strip examples, showing types 1-5, of all the denominations, are very much sought after. A beautiful example of a scarce multiple and also a philatelically important item. Upon request at time of purchase, the purchaser may receive a draft copy of the 1997 unpublished research paper by DuBois. This is free, but may not be reproduced or distributed in any form whatsoever without my permission. I am the copyright holder.

This printing exists with a light to dark range of color shades; this example is at the dark end of that spectrum. Cliche types (from left to right: 5,1,2,3,4,5) per DuBois (unpublished 1997). [In early philatelic literature, both AFA Plates III/IIIa and III/IV were described as "Plate II", without a small dot above the I of DIEN.] Very fresh and bright appearance.

J1 Printing 4, AFA #P1.4, AFA Plate IIIb (fourth printing) [1902 1 cent Postage Due] NEVER HINGED VF/F-VF vertical 6-block. Printing / Plate confirmed by color and paper. Cliche types (left side type 3, right side type 4) per DuBois (unpublished 1997). [In early philatelic literature, both AFA Plates III/IIIa and III/IV were described as "Plate II", without a small dot above the I of DIEN.] Wonderfully fresh and bright with perfect perforations. Blocks of this printing / plate are quite unusual. Of the Cents postage dues, this printing / plate is one for which no sheet is in the postal museum and a sheet is otherwise not recorded to exist. (Thus blocks are important to determine the location of cliche varieties.) I believe that this is the first block of this printing / plate that I have been able to offer in 50 years! This block shows further "flyspeck" varieties for these positions (and possibly these types with further confirmation of consistency across all positions of the types) which could be added to the listing by DuBois. Specifically, in addition to all six stamps showing small undescribed type differences, the lower right stamp shows a prominent vertical plate scratch from the inner circle above the N of DANSK, down through the outer circle below the OR of PORTO. A beautiful example of a scarce multiple and also a philatelically important item.

J4 Printing 1, Plate I [1902 10 cent blue Postage Due] Used appearance with VF centering and perfect perforations, but I am not able to confirm that the cancellation is correct and proper, thus as a starting point, I have to value this as less than the much lower-priced Mint value. The cancellation may be okay, but I just cannot confirm that. AFA Plates I and II both have the "small dot over I of DIEN"; elsewhere all "small dot" stamps are often described as Plate I). Only 10,000 of the 50,000 10 Cent stamps are from Printing 1, but the modest difference in the catalog values of the different printings do not properly represent this scarcity. Attractive and genuine stamp (with questionable cancellation) offered at a very low price.

J4 Printing 3 (Plate III, Blue), AFA #P4.3 III [1902 10 cent blue Postage Due] Mint, heavy hinge remnant, with Fine centering, and excellent perforations. AFA Plates I and II -- which this is NOT -- both have the "small dot over I of DIEN"; elsewhere all "small dot" stamps are often described as Plate I). This third and final printing (Plate III) of the 10 cent is Blue on White Paper, without that "small dot". However, this example has a remarkable variety which I have not previously seen: a very large color spot above/between DI. This is certainly only from one position in the sheet of 100. While not a "scarce" stamp, this one is surprisingly hard to find -- plus it has a "rare" variety.
