O4 [1871 4 skilling Official PERFORATION 12.5] Used F-VF centered, lightly canceled, however with perforations partially clipped at right and bottom. While the clipped perforations are a defect, it is not uncommon to see them on this stamp -- it seems that government office workers were too lazy to tear stamps at the perforations. This is one of the scarcest Danish stamps (only #21 is on more want lists). A very pretty and reasonably priced example. |

O4 [1871 4 skilling Official PERFORATION 12.5] Used F-VF centered, on small piece, however with perforations clipped at bottom. The cancellation is "LØGTN" Esrom-type (precursor to the star cancellations) postmark from Løgten Kro. Esrom-type cancellations are scarce on any of the skilling-denomination stamps, however, they are much scarcer on official stamps; the Esrom-type cancellations were used at tiny places that handled very little official mail. While the clipped perforations are a defect, it is not uncommon to see them on this stamp -- it seems that government office workers were too lazy to tear stamps at the perforations. The presence of the LØGTN postmark makes this scarce stamp an extremely scarce example. This is one of the scarcest Danish stamps (only #21 is on more want lists). A very pretty and reasonably priced example. |

O5 Inverted Watermark [1871 16 skilling Official, Perf 12.5] Used SPACE FILLER, but with very scarce inverted watermark (AFA 2011 value DKK 6000 = $1200!). Though this stamp was cut apart rather than torn, this was fairly common for this issue. |

O20 [1923 5 øre Brown Official] Used with Superb centering and neat cancellation. Though the cancellation is a type in use at the time, this example does not show a date and thus cannot be proved to be a timely use (this stamp was used 11 September 1923 through 31 March 1924, only seven months).With properly dated cancellation this would be at least $30. It is probably okay, but I cannot prove it. Very pretty. |
