1a (Facit #1I AFA #2a) [1851 2 RBS Greenish Blue, Ferslew Printing] Used Superb appearing with what looks like four huge margins. However, the margin on the left side has been expertly repaired/added (and thus the postmark in the margin has been painted in). All other aspects of the stamp are genuine. Neat #1 numeral cancellation which is unusual on this 1851 printing (normally adds 20% to the value, but in this case, it does not increase the cost at all). Despite the repair, this is a handsome example at a remarkably low price. AFA 2011 value for a normal 4-margin example is DKK 20,000 = US$3600, plus a premium for the numeral cancel. An extremely important consideration when valuing this stamp is that the repaired left margin could be simply removed (cut off), resulting in a perfectly normal and unrepaired 3-margin example that would command the price for a normal 3-margin example! Thus this stamp must be thought of and valued as a 3-margin example. Accompanied by a Jay Smith photo certificate with lifetime guarantee. [If the buyer wishes, the left side can be removed and the certificate re-issued, at no extra charge.] |

2a [First Printing -- First Danish Stamp! "Ferslew" Print with engraved burelage] Facit #2I in LIGHT Red Brown. Used Superb with four large to huge margins. The typical mute cancel is centered a little low, allowing a better view of the stamp design (regulations stated that the cancel was to be in the middle). |

2a [First Printing -- First Danish Stamp! "Ferslew" Print with engraved burelage] Facit #2I in DARK Red Brown. Used VF with four margins. Weak upper right corner (only visible from the back). NUMERAL CANCELLATION #53 (Randers, Type 1). This stamp is not normally found with numeral cancellations and is even scarcer with such cancels from the smaller cities. This 53-1 postmark was put into use approximately 1 December 1852, well after the March 1852 introduction of the Thiele printings (Scott #2). While several catalogs and handbooks price numeral cancellations on the usual FIRE RBS (Scott #2), none that I know specifically price their much, much scarcer use on the Ferslew printings (Scott #2a). Very attractive example! |
